Lesson ObjectiveThis lesson will help you select and compare foods
for spaceflight suitability, and package them for spaceflight.
Learning ObjectivesThe students will• select foods to test for spaceflight suitability.• subject foods to spaceflight suitability testing
based upon criteria.• collect data by sorting foods based upon the
results of the suitability for spaceflight testing.• develop packaging for the suitable foods for
spaceflight.• develop a conclusion based upon the results of
this activity.

What types of tests would qualify the foods for spaceflight?
Tests might include:• handling the food to test for crumbs• wafting the food to test for desirable smells• simulated bite test to produce crumbs• reviewing the food label to test for proper nutrition and portion size
Discuss the packaging materials you have to use and determine which packaging material would be best for each food.
Package the foods with the food packaging material. Label each Food item with mailing labels or tape and a marker
