Challenge #4

CHALLENGE #4

READ THE TEXT:

Astronauts become slightly taller in space due to the lack of gravity compressing their spines. Without the constant force of gravity, the vertebrae expand, increasing height by about 5 centimeters until returning to Earth. Because liquids drift in microgravity, astronauts cannot wash normally and must rely on special no-rinse hygiene products. The International Space Station orbits Earth roughly every 90 minutes, allowing astronauts to witness nearly 16 sunrises and sunsets within a single day. To avoid drifting while they sleep, they secure themselves in vertical sleeping bags attached to the walls. Living in space demands constant adaptation, and astronauts must remain courageous, resourceful, and prepared for unfamiliar challenges.

Answer the questions!

Challenge #4

CHALLENGE #4

ANSWER:

  1. Why do astronauts grow taller in microgravity, and what happens when they return to Earth’s gravity?
  2. If the space station orbits Earth every 90 minutes, how many sunrises would astronauts see in 3 hours? Show your calculation.
  3. Give one example from the passage that shows astronauts must adapt to unfamiliar conditions in space. Provide evidence.
  4. Why can astronauts not wash normally in space, and what do they use instead?
  5. Why do astronauts sleep in vertical sleeping bags attached to the walls? What problem does this solve?

Option 2:Space Gadget Design

Invent a new space gadget! Draw or describe what it does and how it helps astronauts.

Option 1: Space Journal Entry

Write a short diary entry as if you’re in space. Describe what you saw, how you felt, and what surprised you.

I’m the biggest planet and have a huge red storm that’s been swirling for hundreds of years.

Jupiter hint:

Mercury is both the smallest planet and the closest one to the Sun in our solar system.

I’m the closest planet to the Sun and the smallest one too! I have no moons and I’m super hot during the day.

Mercury hint:

I’m the only planet with air, water, and life. You live here!

Earth hint:

Jupiter is bigger than all the other planets combined.

It's Saturn

...

Saturn’s rings are made of ice and rock, making them very bright and easy to see.

Mars appears red because iron oxide (rust) covers its surface.

Jupiter completes one full spin in just 10 hours.

Pluto was reclassified as a dwarf planet in 2006.

I’m called the Red Planet because of my rusty color. Robots love to visit me!

Mars hint:

Venus has thick clouds that trap heat, making it even hotter than Mercury.

Winds on Neptune can reach over 1,200 mph — faster than jets!

I’m covered in thick yellow clouds and hotter than any other planet—even hotter than Mercury!

Venus hint:

Uranus hint:

I roll around the Sun on my side! I’m light blue and super cold.

I’m the farthest from the Sun and the windiest planet in the solar system.

Neptune hint:

You can’t miss my shiny rings! They’re made of ice and rock.

Saturn hint:

Uranus has a 98-degree tilt, causing it to spin almost horizontally.
