'In the future will people travel and live in space?' - Big Questions Investigation Card

The Epistemic Insight “Investigating Big Questions” Discovery Bags contain a variety of scientific equipment and resources to help students ‘think like a scholar’. This Investigation Card focuses on space, in which students make a 'to scale' diagram of the solar system and consider whether humans could really travel deep into space to live and work. Students are encouraged to think about this scenario from a range of disciplines, including science, to determine the benefits and drawbacks put forward by different disciplinary perspectives.
