Science fiction is a topic that most people don't enjoy too often, and space travel is also something with a little interest. Well a wonderful book to read that can change anyone's perspective of science fiction is
Astronaut Living In Space by Kate Hayden it's extremely interesting and full of facts about astronaut's who live in space for a period of time and what they do for fun, eat, and sleep. It's full of science that can help expand a child's interest in space travel. Children even gain an interest to wanting to become an Astronaut.
A fun activity to do is to have the children in the classroom guess how many miles it takes to get from earth to the moon, and how many days they think it will take, and even how fast the space shuttle travels. And then give a prize to whoever is closest. This will get them to use their own knowledge and the knowledge they learned from the book as well.
