Life Needs• Look at the data on your sheet.

• Do the following on the next page of your notebook after your glossary:

1. With your table group, list any resources for survival that each environment could provide.2. Then make a list of supplies you would need to bring in order to survive an extended stay

What makes the Earth “habitable” for humans?

(habitable = livable)

Space Flight Part 1

In your groups:-Create a list of items you would need to bring

with you to survive an extended trip on a spaceship into deep space. (Every student writes it down.)

-Consider the needs of other forms of life that humans might bring along (for example, plants for food or medicine, animals for food or companionship, etc.).

Page 26: DO NOW Date: 5/18 Make a list of everything we (humans) need to stay alive.

Did you consider…?

How do these two features of Earth help us survive?

Magnetic FieldOzone

Page 27: DO NOW Date: 5/18 Make a list of everything we (humans) need to stay alive.

Life & Space Glossary p. Magnetic field – a protective field generated by Earth’s

rotating iron core that surrounds the planet and deflects harmful solar radiation

TURN & TALK: What resources/protections may humans need when traveling in outer space without the protection of Earth’s magnetic field? Add them to your list.

Page 28: DO NOW Date: 5/18 Make a list of everything we (humans) need to stay alive.

gas (O3) that reflects harmful ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the Sun away from the Earth

TURN & TALK: What resources/protections may humans need when traveling

in outer space without the protection of Earth’s ozone layer? Add them to your list.
