lost

=Lost in Space= Have you ever been lost? What does it feel like? Being lost can be scary if you don't know what to do. What would you do if you were lost in a store? What if you got lost on a camping trip? What if you were in outer space? How would you get home?

The Task In this activity you will be learning your address and your place in space. After viewing the video, The Magic School Bus Lost in Space, you will pretend that you are a student in Ms. Frizzle's class and help the class figure out how to get home. You will create your own intergalactic address book, so that on your next trip into the universe you will have a map to get back home.
