Astro Farmer | Lunar Soil STEM Experiment Kit for Kids, Students & Educators

A hands-on STEM experiment kit using real lunar regolith simulant to explore plant growth, soil science, and space exploration through fun, science-fair-ready experiments.

Explore Farming on the Moon 🌕🌱

What would it take to grow plants on the Moon?

The Astro Farmer STEM Kit lets students, families, and classrooms explore that question using authentic lunar regolith simulant — the same type of material scientists and engineers use to test technologies for future lunar missions.

Designed for science fairs, classrooms, and curious space lovers, Astro Farmer turns real planetary science into an accessible, hands-on learning experience.

What’s Included

This kit is designed to be easy to use at home or in the classroom.

What’s Inside Your Kit:

✅ Lunar Regolith Simulant – just like the dusty soil found on the Moon!
✅ Potting Soil – full of nutrients for your plants
✅ Planting Pots (5) – to test all your soil mixes
✅ Seeds – black bean seeds
✅ Measuring Scoop – for mixing soil and regolith
✅ Experiment Workbook – your step-by-step guide and journal
✅ Astronaut Patch – earn your patch at the end!

No advanced equipment required — just curiosity and a willingness to experiment.
