Here are some writing prompts to help students reflect on the mini-lesson. Feel free to copy and paste them into an assignment. 1. How close could an astronaut get to the Sun? 2. What did this lesson make you curious about? What other questions do you have about astronauts?

Bonus Activity: What is something that you’re curious about but is hard to get close to? For example, maybe you want to know what the ocean floor looks like. Or what the top of a skyscraper looks like. Think like an inventor. What could you invent so that you can see these places? Draw your ideas for how you could see a place where you can’t go.
