Space Haven

SPACE HAVEN: ADVENTURES IN OUTERSPACE
Activity Duration: 4 hours
​Recommended Age: 10-13


Create a fictional story describing how the human body functions to survive in space. Design a costume and superpowers that enhance the abilities of the human body. 
​

​EXPERIENCE
The human body is like a machine with many systems working together to allow for life, movement, cognitive function, growth, repair, reproduction and so much more. These systems include the integumentary (skin and hair), muscular, skeletal, nervous, endocrine, respiratory, circulatory (cardiovascular), digestive, and lymphatic (immune) systems. Each system is made up of organs that work together to carry out specific functions or jobs. 
Picture
THINK
  • In order to survive traveling to outer space, the human body must withstand the forces of gravity fields, hostile environments and radiation.
  • Each of these challenges need to be combated with special equipment.
  • Think about how the conditions in space are different from the conditions on Earth. For example, there is no oxygen in the atmosphere and there are extreme temperatures.
