This term we have planted some very special seeds as part of our science space topic. We received two packs of rocket seeds from the Royal Horticultural Society, one of which has been taken up to space to the ISS by the British astronaut, Tim Peake. We have planted both packs of seeds and we want to find out what effect being in space has had on the seeds. As we don’t know which of our packs went to space we will have to record their growth pattern and send off the information to RHS.
The seeds sent to space might have been infested by aliens. We will have to wait and see what happens as they grow! 8000 schools are taking part in this amazing project!
We’d love to know if you spot any difference in your seeds. Ours are the same so far, though we did find it very difficult to put one seed into the hole at a time!
We also found putting one seed in one hole tricky. So far ours are growing at the same rate.
Which school are you in?
