Designing the Plant Growth Chamber
In your Agronaut Log, copy the following chart leaving plenty of room for you to write your thoughts. Think back to the seven things that plants need to live and grow and fill in the first column of the chart. Then, think of some ways that you might want to provide these things in your plant chamber design. You do not have to make any decisions right now - just write down all of your creative ideas and options. Think back to all of the lessons you learned in the different Missions. It might help to flip through the rest of your Agronaut Log for ideas.

 Entry 33: Your final and biggest project is to pull all of the information you have learned together! Find a Moon map and choose a location on the Moon for the chamber. Decide one plant that you want to grow in your chamber. In your Agronaut Log, write why you chose this plant. Then, draw a sketch of what you think your plant growth camber would look like. Explain each part of the design and why you included each part of your design. Explain how your plant chamber provides the seven things plants need to grow.
