On September 3, 2013 at 18:53 (Japan Standard Time), Astronaut Karen Nyberg let us glance at the growth of Azuki beans in Kibo. The observation completed very quickly to minimize the effect of light on the seedlings.
Ground staff at the Tsukuba Space Center similarly made a brief look at the seedlings under normal gravity.
Please compare those with the seedlings at your home or classroom. Carefully observe if there is any variation, and think about how such difference appeared.
