Parts of the Space Station

Worksheet Description

The worksheet is designed to familiarize students with specific components of the International Space Station (ISS). Displaying a table format, it lists several terms related to the ISS, such as “modules,” “nodes,” and “solar arrays.” The objective for students is to provide definitions for each of these terms, contextualizing their relevance to the space station’s structure and operation. Accompanying the table is a clear set of directions, guiding the students on how to fill out the worksheet and an illustrative image of the ISS to aid visual understanding.

This worksheet aims to deepen students’ knowledge about the intricate elements that constitute the International Space Station. By prompting students to define each term, it ensures that they not only recognize these components but also understand their specific functions and importance within the ISS’s ecosystem. The hands-on approach of having students write definitions fosters active learning, encouraging them to research, recall, or deduce information about space technology. Through this worksheet, educators intend to build a foundational understanding of space engineering and inspire curiosity about space exploration.
