Why Does Water Float in Space? Gravity Explained for Kids

Teachers and parents: scroll down to check out the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) for this episode! Living in space is pretty different from living on Earth, and not just because people can float around! Today, Jessi and Sam the Bat learn about the weird ways things like fire and water behave when they are in space. Next Generation Science Standards Crosscutting Concept: Patterns: Observed patterns in nature guide organization and classification and prompt questions about relationships and causes underlying them. ---------- Love SciShow Kids and want to help support it?
