5CS's Fun SPACE FACTS presentation was created by Grade 5CS students using Microsoft PowerPoint and Slideshare to share interesting space facts researched on Wolfram Alpha. The presentation includes facts about astronaut training using underwater simulations of microgravity, the lack of sound in space, characteristics of different types of stars, and details about NASA and space junk. Bibliographies are provided for sources of both information and images used in the slides.

1. 5CS’s Fun SPACE
FACTS.
Grade 5CS researched interesting
facts on SPACE using Wolfram Alpha
then created this presentation using
Microsoft PowerPoint and

therefore you can’t hear
people speaking without
using radios.

5. Our Sun is huge, many thousands of times bigger than Earth.
Because it is so big it has very powerful Gravity. It is the Sun's Gravity
that keeps the Earth and all the planets from flying off into space!
The first person to discover gravity is Isaac Newton. He discovered
gravity when he dropped an apple from a tree. In space there is no
gravity because there is no gravitational pull from a planet.
Did you
know that if
you were on
Jupiter you’d
be nearly 2.5
times
heavier! By: Matthew.W, Jason and Alan

7. SPACE JUNK
What Is Space Junk?
Space junk is the collection
of objects in orbit around Earth
that were created by humans but no
longer serve any useful purpose. These
objects consist of everything from spent
rocket stages and broke down satellites. By Ben.A And Marcus.M
