Living In Space: How Do Toys Move in Space?
Overview
Students travelled to Yerkes Observatory in Williams Bay, Wisconsin in a field trip to accompany their experiences in a 2-week camp in Madison, Wisconsin whose topic was 'Living In Space.'
In order for humans to live in space, they need to understand how Earthly items will respond to microgravity and that was the focus of this activity. Students were engaged in some activities with typical toys found here on Earth and analyzed them as they played with them or observed their pair partners using the toys.
After outside play , the students watched several NASA films in which astronauts at the International Space Station were using the same toys the students used in the outside playtime.
