Research in Agriculture Education
Host Site: USDA/ARS Subtropical Horticulture Research Station
Focus: Ecology/Entomology, energy flow through corn plants and food chains/webs; the life cycle of the corn earworm
Actual research on the LIFE CYCLE of the corn earworm (Helicoverpa zea), and global research currently being conducted at Mayaguez USDA/ARS

APPLICATIONTEACHERS COLLABORATE WITH NASA ON THE
CORN EARWORM PROJECT
![Page 8: USDA Future Scientists Program - University of Florida · USDA Future Scientists Program. INSTRUCTIONAL SUPERVSOR. AGRISCIENCE, PUBLIC SERVICE EDUCATION & FAMILY & CONSUMER SCIENCES](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081404/5f04aca17e708231d40f2489/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
NASA CORN EARWORM PROJECT
Reduced Gravity Educational Flight Project - unique academic experience, educators successfully propose, design, fabricate, fly and evaluate a reduced gravity experiment.
Overall experience includes: scientific research, hands-on investigation, design & test operations.
Investigations will adhere to the same regulations governing NASA research and test flights.

AGRICULTURE – SCIENCE JOINT INITIATIVE
Teacher devised experiment based on concepts acquired (T. Gantt, C. Veiga, T. Doucimo, and E. Abramoff of JFK Middle)
PURPOSE - To determine if corn ear worms can survive a zero gravity space flight, and if so will the pupation rate be affected? - To investigate an interplanetary colonizing.
