What? SPACE? Yup!
Today Eastie's AP Environmental Science class, led by Ms. Stacy-Michelle Reid, sowed a small set of tomato seeds. Half of the seeds are regular ol' Heinz Tomato seeds. The other half are Heinz Tomato seeds that have spent 5 weeks in outer space aboard the International Space Station! The goal is to see if outer space conditions (-80C and a vacuum) will change the germination rates. Currently, we don't know which set is actually from space! We will send out our findings once they germinate (in a week or so). After, we will have some baby tomato seedlings for any aspiring gardeners out there. How cool would that be? Tomatoes from space!
