Prof Caitlyn Bryrt, an InSpace Mission Specialist, is opening her lab for a tour and insight into her revolutionary plant research.
This PL is ideal for teachers from K to 12 to learn about Science is a Human Endeavour and to further their content knowledge in plant science and its connection to many endeavours across a range of industries. This PL is accredited for 3 hours.
Dr Byrt has studied the mechanisms used by plants to absorb (and purify) water through their roots. This vital process has sparked her patented membrane that mimics plants and can purify water that will revolutionise how we respond to droughts and natural disasters, clean contaminated water in the mining industry, but also how water is purified on the International Space Station. This is your chance to meet an inventor; have a behind the scenes tour of revolutionary science research labs; and conduct your own plant experiments with free resources to take back to your classroom.
