Space Food Tasting!

Date: 18th May 2021 @ 10:22am

We have had a very exciting morning here in 5HW!

As part of our Nutrition unit of work in D&T, we have been finding out about how astronuats eat a balanced diet whilst living on the International Space Station (since we are studying Space in Science!). As part of that, we have tasted freeze-dried food this morning, which is the type of food the astronauts would have eaten on the first space missions in the 1960s!

We have tried 5 foods:

Tortilla

Banana

Cinnamon Apple Wedges (the BIG favourite!)

Strawberry

Neopolitan Ice Cream

Have a look at our photos - can you work out which food is which on the plate?
