Blob Experiment with Astronaut Thomas Pesquet: Experiments on “blobs” will begin on Monday in classrooms and space.
They are called “Blobinou“, “Sponge Blob“, or “Blob Marley.”
Thousands of blobs, these odd organisms created from a single cell, have landed in schools to participate in an experiment organized by Astronaut Thomas Pesquet from space.
More than 4,500 classes across France, from CE2 to Terminale, are preparing for D-Day: from Monday to October 17, they will participate in a unique experience led by the CNES (National Center for Space Studies), which will compare the behaviour of the blob on Earth and in zero gravity, at the height of 400 kilometres.
Breeding – Blob Experiment
The instructors began breeding as soon as they received their “blobs kits” at the beginning of the school year, and they were fascinated by this living entity that responded to the scientific term “Physarum Polycephalum” and lived in the undergrowth.
The species, which first appeared on Earth between a billion and 700 million years ago, long before dinosaurs, is made up of only one cell with many nuclei that reproduce.
Features of Blobs
Like a yellow spongy mass, it has no mouth, stomach, legs, or brain, yet eats (a lot), moves (slowly), and has impressive learning abilities.
In addition, the blob can divide at will, merge with others, and go dormant as it becomes dehydrated, making it virtually immortal.
Mini Blob Laboratories In Classrooms
In August, fragments of the blob were launched toward the International Space Station in this parched, “sclerotic” state.
Thousands of clones from the same strain as their space congeners have landed in envelopes and schools due to this process.
The earthly classes gradually evolved into mini-laboratories.
First, it was essential to wet the dried blobs with a few drops of water and place them in Petri plates on an agar bed, away from light, to develop.
ULIS
A ULIS class from Ribérac started on September 14 in DORDOGNE and expanded the experiences until developing a Twitter account to monitor Blobbi’s adventures: food tests, blob motions with or without gel.
Others had a more distressing start.
“Our first” batch “moulded because we did not replace the agar sufficiently,” Alexandra Da Paz, a teacher at Saint-Paul-Bert Mandé’s elementary school, explains.
This little mishap allowed her to explain to her students that the blob if it was almost immortal, “was not invincible”, remembers this school teacher, who has since made other sclerotia thrive. Reserve.
Compared to the usual farms of stick insects or snails, the unicellular organism shakes up the codes so that it can arouse apprehension.

“Some have science fiction images in their heads, of a yellowish thing that will jump in their face,” says Emmanuelle Bohbot, mistress of CM1 / CM2 in the north of Paris.
