Working in Space
Working in space can be difficult. Because everything drifts in a
microgravity environment, astronauts must use foot restraints and handles to steady
themselves so they can work.
Mission:
Learn how difficult it is to work in a gravity environment on Earth.
Experiment:
Step 1.
Sit on a chair.
Step 2.
Put your feet on the floor.
Step 3.
Using both hands, try to unscrew the blue section from the pipe that a friend holds over your head.
Theorize:
- Can you unscrew the pieces?
- How difficult is this task?
Mission:
Learn how difficult it is to work in a microgravity environment in space.
Experiment 2:
Step 1.
Sit cross-legged on the "Microgravity Simulator."
Step 2.
Make sure your feet aren't touching the floor.
Step 3.
Using both hands, try to unscrew the blue section from the pipe that a friend holds over your head.
