Clarifying

​

The text states that “they soak in the quiet of the sky above”. This confuses me. Soaking usually happens when something is placed in water. But there is no water. What do you think the author means by this statement?

Think about the question for a minute. Turn to your shoulder partner. Decide who will speak first. ​

Predicting

Now that the astronauts are strapped into the spacecraft, can you predict what will happen?

Think about Sally Ride’s autobiography to help you with your predictions.

Turn to your shoulder partner again. Decide who is speaking first. Wait for me to start the timer. ​

The astronauts had health issue when adjusting to microgravity. Do you think they will have the same issues when they return to gravity? Why or Why not?

Think about this question. Turn to your shoulder partner and decide who will go first. Wait for me to start the timer. ​
