Grade 5 Tomatosphere

Posted: May 12, 2009

Space:The final frontier,might very well be conquered by...Tomatoes?!?  Kennedy space center,located in Florida,thinks so.  By initiating project "TomatoSphere", 5G and hundreds of other classes are able to lend a hand by planting tomatoes. How does this help? Well to fully explain, you have to go back to the start... 5G/R, along with around 1099 other schools,all received 2 packets of Heinz tomato seeds.Why 2? Because each class needs one package labeled M and the other labeled N to successfully complete the experiment.  Although we have no knowledge of which is which,we know that one is a bag of ordinary seeds and the other has been exposed to Martian conditions by the scientists running Tomatosphere . Our main objective is to find out if they will survive,grow or even be edible on Mars! Thank you for taking the time to read this article and hopefully you will enjoy the footage of our seed planting. Written by: Spencer Daigle 5G
