Set D Seeds- We planted 29 and we found that 28 germinated.
Set F Seeds- We planted 35 seeds and we found 33 germinated.
We will find out which seed type (D or F) were the ones exposed to space temperatures once I send in the data. Stay tuned!
Our greatest natural resource is the minds of the children. -Walter Elias Disney |
The class started a project, a number of weeks ago, that came to my attention called "Tomatosphere". This science projects purpose was to grow some tomato seeds that had been exposed to space temperatures of minus 80 degrees in order to see if the seeds would germinate. We were sent two packets of seeds marked D and F. We were not told which of the packet of seeds had been exposed to the minus 80 degree temperature of space. The reason Nasa scientists are having hundreds of schools perform this experiment is to see if on a mission to the Moon or Mars what tomato seed type would germinate the best if there was a breach in the space craft and the seeds exposed to the minus 80 degree temperatures of space. Set D Seeds- We planted 29 and we found that 28 germinated. Set F Seeds- We planted 35 seeds and we found 33 germinated. We will find out which seed type (D or F) were the ones exposed to space temperatures once I send in the data. Stay tuned!
