The University of Guelph-Humber (UofGH) is “over the moon” to host their 5th annual Science Rendezvous (SR) event in collaboration with Astronomy in Action , Let’s Get Together and the University of Guelph’s Human Anatomy Lab.
The theme is “Take Me To Space!”, where participants were able to visualize their trip to space and learn how the human body eats, sleeps, exercises, practices personal hygiene and overall wellness, while developing eco-green waste management practices, all in a weightless environment!
This Site's Science Chase Resources:
Movement in Space
Did you know that EXERCISING IN SPACE is part of an astronaut’s daily schedule and is just as important for the body in space as it is on Earth?

Sound audio feature is required.
Practice Question #1:
Does muscle mass increase or decrease in space?
Personal Hygiene in Space
Have you ever wondered how astronauts keep themselves clean in space? Gravity in space affects water and the products astronauts use for PERSONAL HYGIENE. C

Practice Question #2:
What happens to the toothpaste when they are done brushing their teeth?
Eating in Space
Do you know how different EATING IN SPACE is from eating on Earth? Astronauts can be in space for months at a time and have to eat without gravity keeping their food in one spot.

Practice Question #3:
What one ingredient that must be added to food before it's eaten in space?
Sleeping in Space
Have you ever wondered how astronauts SLEEP in SPACESHIPS? Since there is microgravity in space, sleep stations have sleeping bags that are strapped to the wall. Come play Kahoot with the students during the “Take Me To Space” presentation.
Approximately activity time: 1:10pm

Practice Question #4:
Do astronauts use a pillow to sleep in space?
STEAMgreen in Space
Have you ever wondered how astronauts dispose of their garbage? There is not a lot of space for waste on the international space station. Come do a fun eco-bricking activity with the students during the “Take Me To Space” presentation.
Approximately activity time:
Practice Question #5:
What are two things astronauts can recycle in space?
