Accommodations for Space Travel Research Name________________________________ Name________________________________ Name________________________________ Name________________________________ Research the following topic starting with the web sites given. Learn about your group’s obstacle to space travel, the effects of that obstacle and how scientists have solved the problem. Start your internet search by using the websites listed below. After you have looked at them, you can do a general search for additional information. Once you have completed your research, your group will decide on a way to present your information to the class. You can do a presentation, a poster, a power point presentation, a video, etc… In addition, you will build a small model out of recycled materials to show some aspect of your research project. You will be joining with another group to build the model and each group will be able to use it for their presentation. Each group needs to make sure their research is reflected in the model. You may work on the project at home and are welcome to bring in materials to use on the model.
