Today Meredith learned about outer space at school. She has agreed to give me a lesson.
- Astronauts have to wear special clothes; otherwise if they don't, they'll float in the air on the moon or their rocket ship.
- Shooting stars are made of rock.
- The rock hits the air and that's what makes the light. Then they try to find a place to land.
- There's not very much air in the sky.
- There are four different planets that go around the sun and one is our planet.
- Our planet is the Earth.
- The astronauts need to wear their helmet and mask to protect against the sun and the stars.
- The sun is the brightest star.
- The Earth looks different when you're in space.
- The sun is in space.
- People can get to space in a rocket ship of course.
- People can walk on the moon but need special clothes for different reasons. Their clothes have different things for different reasons.
- People can't go on the sun.
- The other planets are smaller than ours.
- We can't see the other planets.
- You can see the Great Wall of China up in space or on the Moon maybe.
- When you're going up to space it's hard to say goodbye to the Earth we live on.
- Teachers need to be well trained to go into space.
