Clean up in Zero G!

Our 6th grade students at Northland Prep had an experiment that was selected by the NASA Teaching From Space program to fly in weightlessness on the Zero G plane.  Students collected all the ground data on the absorbency of different fabrics when water and a simulated blood were squirted at them.  Cotton and microfiber were REALLY close, but microfiber absorbed the most in both environments.  Now that we have tested an experiment in Zero G it only makes sense we try for the real thing in space!
