The three astronauts showcased the working and living conditions of the Chinese space station Wentian experimental module on-orbit, which was launched in July. They demonstrated the capillary effects of liquids in a weightless environment and the vibration behavior of liquid and liquid-solid mixture under the same impact in a microgravity environment.
The third lesson also included fun drinking with a straw, turning wrenches, plant growth research project introductions and interactive exchanges with ground classrooms. 
The lecture aimed to spark the interest of China’s young people in space and science.
