Space Exploration Video Guide Worksheet for students to fill in during viewing.

Let’s go through each question one by one and fill in the blanks with the correct answers based on what we know about space exploration.

Three things I have learned from this video:

1. The first human to travel into space was Yuri Gagarin.
2. Neil Armstrong was the first person to walk on the Moon.
3. Space shuttles can be reused — they land like airplanes after missions.

*(Note: These are common facts taught in basic space exploration videos. If your video showed something different, adjust accordingly — but these are standard.)*

Three things I didn’t know before watching this video:

1. That astronauts train underwater to simulate weightlessness.
2. That the Hubble Space Telescope has helped us see galaxies billions of light-years away.
3. That Mars rovers like Curiosity send photos back to Earth using radio signals.

*(Again, these are typical “new” facts students learn — pick ones that felt new to you!)*

One thing I want to learn more about:

I want to learn more about how astronauts eat and sleep in space without gravity.

Now let’s do the Questions or Statements section:

1. A space shuttle is used for space → travel / missions
*(It carries people and cargo to space stations or orbit.)*

2. NASA → is a U.S. government agency responsible for space exploration
*(National Aeronautics and Space Administration)*

3. The Hubble telescope orbits our planet → in low Earth orbit, taking pictures of stars and galaxies
*(It’s been up there since 1990!)*

4. It is the force that pulls objects to the ground → gravity

5. It takes a lot of → fuel and energy to launch a rocket into space.

6. Astronauts must wear special suits in space because → there’s no air, extreme temperatures, and radiation

7. The first man to → walk on the Moon was Neil Armstrong.

8. “The Eagle has landed” said when men landed on → the Moon (July 20, 1969)

9. In space, → microgravity keeps people in the space shuttle floating.

10. The first woman in space was → Valentina Tereshkova (from Russia, in 1963)

11. Astronauts need oxygen to breathe in space, so they carry it in their → space suits or spacecraft life support systems

12. When the shuttle returns, it enters Earth’s atmosphere and uses its → heat shield to protect itself from burning up.

13. Scientists use telescopes to observe distant planets, stars, and galaxies → to understand the universe better

14. Rockets must reach escape velocity — which means going fast enough to break free from Earth’s gravity → about 25,000 mph (or 40,000 km/h)

15. There is no air in space, so sound cannot travel → that’s why space is silent

16. Without the pull of special machines, the space shuttle would float forever → unless it fires engines to slow down and re-enter atmosphere
