These are the answers from Mrs. Dempsey's Class at Dunning School,
Framingham, MA

They wouldn't be able to plant it in space because there is nogravity
and it would float up.

If they got a chance to plant it, it would go up with gravity and it
would go down with no gravity.

If you went to the moon and you tried to plant, it wouldn't grow.

If you planted in space and put soil in a pot all the soil would float
out.

I think Uranus would be good to plant it on--all the other planets have
something wrong with them. Pluto is too cold, Neptune is too hot,
Jupiter and Saturn have too big an atmosphere and Mars is too cold.

From the teacher: I just took their dictations and wrote them to you
without further discussion . Next year they will study the solar
system. I plan to give this to next year's teacher so that she can use
this in part of a lesson next year. The children will be able to see if
their comments were accurate after further study of space and the solar
system.
