Can a fish live in space?

Students in Elizabeth Gaywont's classes at St. John the Baptist School in Howard may soon find out.

Gaywont, who teaches sixth, seventh and eighth grade science, is starting a project where students develop suggestions about the conditions necessary for a fish to live in space. The students will receive a computer feed with information from an actual experiment where fish were taken into spaceflight.

Using space research to teach all forms of science is a passion for Gaywont. In February, she traveled to Huntsville, Ala. to take part in a three-day workshop at the Marshall Space Flight Center.
