Explore and discover
Exercise is important for people on Earth, but essential for astronauts who travel into space.

Extracting water from lunar soil - Learning about filtration and distillation
In this resource from the European Space Agency, students learn about changes of state of matter using water on the Moon as an example. They interpret data from a pressure vs. temperature graph for water to enable a discussion about how changes of state are different on the Moon compared to what we are used to on...
