Engage in Real Science
Engage your students in a national STEM project. With hands-on experiments, students build inquiry and problem-solving skills as they learn to do real science and contribute to national databases.
Our Projects
Natural curiosity and the thrill of discovery engages participants in Let’s Talk Science’s national science projects. Available for all grade levels, these projects are based on real scientific problems; there are no “right or wrong” answers and no prescribed outcomes, students build their inquiry and questioning skills and contribute to the greater scientific community.
Living Space

Participating classes will explore how indoor environmental conditions influence human health, and identify the best conditions for healthy living. This knowledge is important not only on Earth, but also on the International Space Station (ISS), the future Lunar Gateway, and as long-duration space travel progresses, maybe even on Mars!
Tomatosphere™
