Sunita in Space
NCERT Looking Around, Class 5, Chapter 11 rides with Sunita Williams into orbit and asks what life feels like without gravity. Food floats, water forms wobbling balls, hair stands up, and astronauts strap their sleeping bags to the wall. The chapter explains how rockets escape Earth, how the crew eats, bathes, and exercises in a tiny cabin, and how they gaze down at blue oceans and white clouds. Back on Earth, children compare their weight, jumps, and shadows with space and dream of science careers.
