Playing With Food Eating on the Space Station can be fun. As you may have seen on movies, food floats in the cabin if the astronaut releases it. Sometimes an astronaut will squeeze out a little juice and chase the bubble of liquid around the cabin and capture it in his mouth. Although food does stick to a spoon even in microgravity, if the food falls off then the crew member can use the spoon like a tennis racket and bat the food into the mouth. Snack foods, like nuts or small candies float around and astronauts can chase them like fish, snitching them out of the air with their mouths.
Astronauts can even invent food games.
You can not simulate this experience on Earth with food. You can, however, experiment with bubbles and small candy-coated chocolate candies to get an idea of what would happen to a spill or mess on the Space Station. First , get some bubble solution. Below, write what you believe the bubbles will do here on Earth. In the other column, write what you believe the bubbles would do on the Space Station.
