Science for all!! @TheSpaceGal will be launching on a Blue Origin flight THIS Friday, carrying 2 Fast Plants experiments and seeds! #fastplantsinspace #STEMeducation
Thanks to a generous donation from @fastplants - I’m able to FLY and GIVE AWAY 100,000 seeds from my launch to space. Who wants Space Seeds upon my return? 🌱🙋🏻♀️

Awesome you’re giving stds opportunities for extended investigations for figuring things out! Especially with plants! 🌱👏
Students in AP Biology designed an experiment using Wisconsin Fast plants to test genetic traits.
Here, they are planting and waiting for growth. The experiment will take 6-8 weeks to complete.

Happy Thanksgiving from the Fast Plants Team! Don't forget to eat your Brassicas today👏
We are thankful for the many dedicated teachers, educators, learners, researchers, and YOU, who make up our Wisconsin Fast Plants learning community. #teachersrock

Great example of strong, stocky Fast Plants seedlings with short hypocotyls because they’re receiving the energy from light they need! #teachersrock
6th grade classrooms are planting fast plants to study atoms, molecules, and chemical reactions while practice skills of measurement and scientific writing! #scienceteacher

Options for hands-on genetics lessons with Fast Plants make it possible to align your learning goals and schedule. See this comparison calendar in our digital library at fastplants.org & comment or PM for assistance.
Fast Plants were pollinated ~20 days ago, seeds are maturing, now what?! Harvest is a vital step in any Fast Plants investigation in which students observe the offspring plants they produced. Identify seed maturity fastplants.org/2022/08/24/se… and harvest fastplants.org/grow-fast-pla…

Fast Plants' Dr. Paul Williams will be honored Oct 19th by UW-Madison's College of Agricultural and Life Sciences, Plant Pathology Department for his remarkable contributions in science and education! #uwmadison #onwisconsin #wisconsinidea
Tending to your Fast Plants will help ensure ideal growth and seed production! To help you grow healthy Fast Plants, we recommend thinning plant density, managing light intensity, and staking plants as needed. Learn more about Tending Fast Plants here youtube.com/playlist?list=PL…

Fast Plants thrive under 24 hour lighting of sufficient intensity. Exploring the differences between how humans and plants sense light helps us learn to measure and quantify light, in order to provide optimal lighting for growing healthy Fast Plants. knowledge.carolina.com/produ…

Look how strong their stems are because they’re getting the energy from light they need! Well done!
