Living in
Space: Designing a Space Station
http://www.childrensmuseum.org/cosmicquest/spacestation/index2.html
This wonderful online game is perfect for students past
the 4th grade reading level. What is it? Living
in Space is an online game that explores the idea of living
in space. What do humans need in order to live in
this hostile environment? What do we need to work
and thrive in space? By designing a space station,
you (the user or the student)] examines a series of problems:
How will you breath? What will you eat? How
will you produce power? While choosing the best
solution for each problem, you learn how NASA and the
Russian space agency have designed life support systems
for their spacecraft, while gaining an appreciation for
the Earth's
environment and the many ways that it provides the things
that we need to survive.
