Next time it's dark, why don't you look up!

Even if we can't go into space we can still learn a lot about it from right here on the ground.

Use this activity pack to learn all about astronauts - let us help you explore! 

By the end of this activity you will have:

  • packed your bag for space
  • created a healthy meal for an astronaut
  • carried out tasks 'in space'
  • explored suitable materials for space suits
  • moved like an astronaut in space
  • thought about the feelings astronauts may have about being in space
  • created a set of rules for your 'space station'
  • used your art and design skills

 

To complete this activity you will need: 

  • the 'Let's Explore Astronauts! - Activity Pack' (you may prefer to print out the activity pack)
  • some of the activities need additional resources that are commonly found in an Early Learning environment
