42Packing for a Stay Aboard the
International Space Station!
Astronaut Yuko is deciding what to take into space. Weight is very important
in space travel. Food, water, personal items, and other supplies are needed
for the long trip, and their weight all counts against the total weight that the
transport spacecraft is able to take up to the Space Station. Yuko can only
take up to ten pounds (lb) of personal items with her. Her case weighs two
pounds empty, and cannot weigh more than 10 pounds when filled. Help Yuko
choose what to take along. Circle the case, and each object you think she
should pack in it. Remember to add up the weight as you go, so Yuko
doesn’t try to pack too much! Multiple solutions are possible!

Now think of what items not already shown here that you would like to take
with you if you were given the chance to live and work on the Space Station.
How heavy are they? Would you be able to take them with you? What might
you have to leave behind?
