Actually, it IS rocket science!

We are lucky to be one of 10,000 schools across the country who have been given the opportunity to take part in a UK-wide live science experiment, growing rocket plants from seeds that may have been been to space and stayed with Tim Peake on the International Space Station!

We received two sets of seeds, in colour coded packets and we know that just one of these sets of seeds has travelled to space.  However, we don’t know which colour packet contained the ordinary rocket seeds, and which were the Rocket seeds! Every child in Key Stage 2 was allocated two seeds to sow, one from each set.  We are carefully looking after them and will report back our results to the national project.

You can find out more about the experiment on the RHS website.
