What does an astronauts do?

Today, we were talking about astronauts. I get the children to share their thoughts about astronauts.

Teacher: Why do we have astronauts? What do you think astronauts do in space?
Leow Xun: Because we don't know the plants. What colour is the planet? Because they fly to space to see the planets.
Sueanne: Astronauts go to space to see the planet.
Zi Yue: Because they are different planet in the solar system.
Lik Shin: They take picture of the planets.
Rachel: They write the name of the planet.
Sueanne: They observe and draw the planets.

Wow, these were some of the opinions of the children about astronauts. Then, we have a book on space that mentioned a little about the job of the astronauts and the space station out there.

I played a short video about an astronaut explaining of some experiment that they could in space. The children could also see the condition of the gravity in the space. Things are floating around them. They were amazed.
