Way cool hands on schooling.

I thought this was a real cool way for the kids to do some hands on science. For the children it was set up as a secret mission a la "Men In Black" with the help of the police, the school and the Royal Canadian Navy. A package of sunflower seeds was placed aboard a patrolling Canadian submarine to study the effects of pressure on the seeds. The kids are growing them this summer and making observations as to what effect deep ocean pressure has on the seeds. The link is: http://www.ucdsb.on.ca/News/Current+News/Highlights/Seed+Sub.htm
