Both projects are part of the Student    Spaceflight Experiments Program, Mission 10, which began during    the 2015-2016 school year.  <\/p>\n<p>    The two winning mission patches were selected from more than    3,000 designs created by CCSD students in seven elementary    schools. A local panel of judges consisting of educators,    artists and program supporters selected Martha P. King    Elementary School students Ella Morris and Julia Tregnan as the    winners. Both designs display images of space, the Earth and    Nevada's desert flora and fauna.  <\/p>\n<p>    In addition to the patch design competition, the program also    challenged students to design an experiment that would test the    effects of microgravity. The experiment at John C. Vanderburg    Elementary School emerged as the winner, among more than 90    proposals submitted.  <\/p>\n<p>    Student investigators Shari Abeyakoon, Kendall Allgower and    Avery Sanford, evaluated the effects of microgravity on seed    germination as a possible source for food in long-term space    travel. The experiment will be prepared by the students before    loading onto a ferry vehicle that will carry it to the space    station.  <\/p>\n<p>    Astronauts will activate the experiment in space, while    students conduct the same experiment on land to compare the    gravity levels and results. Once returned to Earth, the patches    and the science experiment will be returned to the students.  <\/p>\n<p><!-- Auto Generated --><\/p>\n<p>Read the original post:<br \/>\n<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.ktnv.com\/positivelylv\/education\/ccsd-student-projects-traveling-to-the-international-space-station\" title=\"CCSD student projects traveling to the International Space Station - KTNV Las Vegas\">CCSD student projects traveling to the International Space Station - KTNV Las Vegas<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p> A science experiment and two mission patches designed by Clark County School District students will launch soon with destination to the International Space Station.
