Breath of Fresh Air Activity In Stock Now

In this activity, learners explore the technology and processes that will be necessary in order to create a breathable atmosphere for life on a Moon base, while also talking about the current processes being used on the International Space Station. Learners will do an experiment that demonstrates some of the science concepts involved in this process.

Learning Objectives:

  • - Astronauts use a variety of systems to reuse and recycle as much as they can—even the air must be treated and filtered so they can breathe. 

  • - The technology and systems being used on the International Space Station now help prepare us for future missions to the Moon and Mars.
