Rocket Science project update

Today Aidan, Abbie and Sam were in charge of watering and turning the trays of seedlings and are now proudly wearing their I’m a Space Biologist stickers. As you can see from the picture the seedlings have started to grow their first true leaves and are now beginning to look like rocket lettuce. This morning’s nursery children went to visit the seeds and Freyja and Pete from Primary 6 talked to the children about the experiment.

Our next task is to record the percentage of seedlings which are alive on Day 17 and turn this into a percentage again. Keep checking for our updates- we’ve now made it on to the pages of the Barrhead news and The Extra as well as East Renfrewshire’s Twitter and Facebook feeds.
