HMS 7th and 8th grade students took part in the Tomatosphere project through First The Seed Foundation. Students received two seed packages; one labeled “X” and one labeled “Y.” One package of seeds spent five weeks on the International Space Station, from August 30, 2021-September 30, 2021. The other pack is a “control” (natural, untreated earth bound seeds). The students planted the seeds and are to gather data and report back with the results of the experiment. Once results are submitted, students will discover which packages are the “space” seeds, and which are the control seeds!
