Astronauts keep daily journals of their time in space.
Write at least 2 journal entries for your mission. Each person on the space shuttle gets a special patch to wear. Let your class learn about the power of the sun. Have each student choose a piece of construction paper. Cut out shapes to lay over the paper.
