DAY 17

All the team were involved in counting the seedlings today. We recorded the number which are alive and growing in each tray and added the data to our Rocket Science chart. There are still more seedlings from the seeds which came from the red packet. Are these the seeds which were on the ISS with Tim Peake? Our next task is to measure the height of the tallest seedling in each tray on Day 21. Meanwhile our trios are all taking their turn to water and turn the trays every two days. The experiment is nearing the half-way stage and there’s still lots to do.

Dougie and Oscar were very busy counting the number of seedlings in their tray.
