How do you wash your hands in space? How do you eat dessert or brush your teeth? When astronauts are away in space month after month, they need to be able to do all kinds of daily tasks while floating around in zero gravity gazing back at earth. Watch our favourite astronaut, Chris Hadfield, show you how things are done out in space. You will find his many videos in both Frenchand Englishat the Canadian Space Agency’s website. There are lots of STEM activities and games for Junior Astronautsand AstronautesJuniors offered here, too.
