MOREHEAD, Ky. (AP) — To harvest tomatoes, peppers and cucumbers, to clip herbs, to prune and propagate succulents, people work in oppressive heat and humidity. Some wring out shirts soaked with sweat.

This module is designed to demonstrate the production of a gas from a reaction and monitor the resulting temperature change. Additionally, it will show that an increase in CO2 (a greenhouse gas) ...
