Become an Astrobiologist by growing plants in an accurate recreation of moon dust!
We provide everything you will need in this kit - just pick what seeds you want to try out – making for a perfect experiment for classroom use! From educating students on the scientific process, to learning about what nutrients plants need, this kit has it all!
LHS-1E, our Lunar Simulant for Educators, is more affordable due to a simplified mixture of minerals. The only change to this simulant compared to our normal LHS-1 simulant is the absence of these trace minerals: Ilmenite, Pyroxene, and Olivine. Besides that, LHS-1E is over 99% identical to our LHS-1 simulant.
We have included optional educational curriculum that you can access here
