Polish astronauts in space

Students learn about space flights by Mirosław Hermaszewski and Sławosz Uznański and plan an orbital mission.

Steps

1. We screen footage and photos from historic and recent space flights.
2. We examine what daily life looks like aboard the International Space Station.
3. Student groups devise a microgravity science experiment they would conduct in space.
4. Teams pitch their space mission blueprints to the class.

Tip: National space agencies offer extensive youth educational resources and diagrams.
