Rocket Science!

Year 5 are taking part in a very special Science investigation. We have sowed 200 rocket seeds out of which 100 have been in a real rocket! These 100 seeds have spent several month in the International Space Station and have been part of British ESA astronaut Tim Peake’s Principia mission. The rockets have been sent back to Earth last week and our task now is to see whether the 100 seeds that have been in space grow the same as the 100 that have not been in space.

Today we have planted the seeds. Now we have to wait and see what happens during the next 6 weeks. Watch this space!
