Sumter Today: Students will see their science experiment take flight

Alice Drive Middle School is going back to space. Another all-girl team at the school recently discovered their experiment proposal has been selected by a national review board of researchers and distinguished educators to participate in a student spaceflight experiments program. Only 33 schools across the U.S., Canada and Brazil are taking part in the program, and this sixth-grade team will send their experiment up aboard a space shuttle to the International Space Station in July to test the effects of microgravity on the growth of brine shrimp.
