Tim Peake and 2kg of seeds

Is there a difference between seeds that have been flown in space and those that have remained on the ground? Thousands of schools in the UK will be working together to find out the answer

Why? Scientists hope that by collecting such a large data sample they will be able to understand how factors such as zero gravity affect plant growth and development. Scientists hope that by collecting such a large data sample they will be able to understand how factors such as zero gravity affect plant growth and development. That will help them identify which crops will be the best to grow in a “space garden”, providing a sustainable source of food for astronauts.
