Space travel is not all comets and shooting stars. A spaceship is packed full of equipment, supplies are limited, and a low gravity environment is tough on the body. Put students to the space travel challenge with this creative lesson where they test their teamwork skills as an astronaut. Includes a guided discussion to get children thinking about space and space travel.
