Tomatosphere

logo-tomatosphereWe have been growing tomato seeds in the classroom… but not just “any” tomato seeds… half of these seeds have REALLY been in SPACE on the International Space Station!  Isn’t that incredible!!!

We have been watching them grow and sketching them.  We are collecting data to see which half of the seeds grows best.  This is called a “blind test” because we don’t know which seeds (package “B” or package “T”) are the Space seeds and which are the Control seeds (ones that just stayed on Earth).  When we are finished, we will send out data in and they will tell us the answer to the mystery!

I wonder if anyone in OUR class will go to Space one day?
