The k1 class has been given the opportunity to conduct an experiment with tomato seeds. There are 2 groups of seeds. One is labeled "T" and the other "V". One spent 22 months in space aboard the International Space Station. They left on July 8th 2011 and returned with Commander Chris Hadfield on May 15, 2013. The other half did not. We do not know which ones did or not. We have planted all the seeds from group 'T' and group 'V' and will take note of the growth. We will then send submit our results to the Tomatosphere website.
It has been a great opportunity to talk about space. We watched a fun video on YouTube recorded in space showing us where the astronauts eat, sleep and exercise.
Here are some students helping Mme Dolgos plant some seeds.
We will add pictures as they sprout!
Very cool! Can't wait to see what happens!
