• Do we expect the shadows in photographs to run parallel to each other?
• If there were bright lights in a studio, what would we expect the shadows to look like?
• How could we test out these ideas for ourselves?

• What kinds of radiation are there?
• What would these different types of radiation do to the astronauts?
• What if we were going to Mars, instead of the Moon?
• What if we were onboard the International Space Station?
