  1. How to survive in space: Lecture 3: The next frontier Page 1 Image credit: Paul Wilkinson

  2. What is your most extreme journey? Extreme space travel in the future could take human life as far as Mars. It will take 1000 days to get there. What will astronauts eat and drink on such an extreme journey? Page 2

  3. Can science solve big challenges? Incredible Fact Scientists have equipment that can turn HUMAN WASTE (carbondioxide and urine) into edible food and water. Imagine this amazing equipment What size might it be? How complicated might it be? How expensive might it be? What if you could have the equipment in your school today? Page 3

  4. Can the incredible be possible in our classroom? What makes plants so amazing? Why do humans need plants on Earth? Page 4

  5. How are essential resources reused or recycled? • Facts • Astronauts urinate into a simple bag surrounding another bag to recycle water. Watch the video • The gummy bear has a surface similar to the small bag in the big bag. Image of a bag in a bag Next to an image of a gummy bear Video link of bag in a bag…and Kevin drinking his own urine! Investigate What happens to the gummy bear when left in water? Page 5

  6. Can the incredible become credible in the future of space? Do you know what happens to a bucket of water when turned upside down? Watch and wonder! How might this affect space travel in the future? Page 6
