Imagine you are invited by the scientists to spend 10 days on the moon. Make a list of items that you would like to take with you.
A list of essential items for a 10-day Moon trip would include:

-
Torch and batteries 6. Camera to take photographs 7. Notebook and pen to record observations 8. Radio or communication device

Warm clothing as Moon temperatures vary 10. Family photographs for emotional support
Explanation
This is a creative thinking exercise that encourages students to imagine what they would need on the Moon. The chapter mentions that scientists like Nandini Aunty work on space missions, and this question helps students think about practical requirements for space travel. Teachers should encourage students to think about basic survival needs (air, water, food) as well as personal items.
