Space Snack Food

To finalise our learning about space stations and the types of food in eaten in space we watched an interview between an astronaut, a nutritionist and an interviewer. We found out that astronauts taste buds change in space and sweet chilli sauce is an astronauts favourite to add flavour to food.We wrote recipes this week and then made out concoctions. 
We thought how bread is not used because crumbs float around in space so we either used tortillas, pancakes, and weetbix for our base. Next we had to use a "space glue"-maple syrup, humus, peanut butter or cream cheese. We had to consider the children in our room with food allergies when creating our recipes.
Some of us thought the snacks were yum but some of us thought it was disgusting.

  1. Sensational Science! I loved reading about your space station snacks, Room 9. I think I would enjoy eating most of these, but my favourite would have to be the mashed banana on pikelet. I hoped you learned something about the living conditions in the zero gravity of a space station in the process.
