10. Would we be able to do any lab tests and small experiments while in space? What would be some good activities or experiments that we could do? Would I be able to contribute to any scientific studies? (A K2S Question)

From The Space Library

On a personal flight into space you might be part of some medical tests or you could photograph features of the Earth, the atmosphere, or the stars with special camera equipment. Other useful experiments might be planned with growing plants or young animals. Since we are still learning how to live and work in the unique environments of spaceflight, there are things almost any curious and educated space traveler can contribute.
