Space Tomatoes?
The grade six classes at
Valley Manor have been
participating in a national
science experiment called
Tomatosphere. Sponsored
by the Canadian Space
Agency, the purpose of
the experiment is to solve
the question "Will seeds
exposed to near zero gravity
conditions
germinate?"
Students received two
packets of seeds: a control
group and a group that had
been on the International
Space Station for 5 weeks.
Without knowing which
packet contained each
type of seed, students
planted seeds and counted
the germination of each
type. We discovered that
one package germinated
approximately two days
before the other.
The
number of plants that
germinated were about the
same. Which seeds sprouted
faster? SPACE SEEDS!
With the race to colonize
space, this experiment
proves that seeds will
germinate. It's too early to
tell if fruit will be produced,
but we can't wait to taste our
space tomatoes!!
Last Friday the Martensville
High School SRC took
part in their annual WakeA-Thon. This is where
students who were a part of
the Student Representative
Council raised money for
the school. To do this they
were to stay awake one
hour for every dollar they
raised. Together we raised
about $400 dollars which
was about $25 per person.
Therefore, we had to stay
up for 25 hours each and
it was not easy. We had
a meeting at midnight
and around 4 o’clock we
cleaned out the SRC room
which was cluttered with
d ecorations and supplies
for various spirit days
and holidays. When we
weren’t doing work we
passed the time and stayed
awake by playing hide and
go seek, and capture the flag
in the darkness of the new
school. Before we knew it
the time had passed and we
had made it to 5 o’clock!
It was really a great night
and a fantastic way to raise
money for the school.
