Science Challenge
To help celebrate Canada’s 50 years in space and Canadian astronaut Chris Hadfield’s upcoming mission, students across Canada are invited to participate in the Canadian Space Agency’s Canadian Science Challenge to design a science experiment at home or at school for the chance to have their experiment conducted in space by Chris himself. To make it even more exciting, the experiment must only use items that are available on the International Space Station. Please click here to see the list.
Until December 31st, 2012, students can submit experiment designs for review by a panel of scientists. The top ten submissions will be featured on the Canadian Space Agency website. The winner will be determined by public voting and will be announced in February. The winning classroom will even have a live video connection with Chris Hadfield as he performs the experiment aboard the International Space Station! Find out more information at http://goo.gl/dg5ib
