     be able to write his/her name in cursive on the Etch-a-Sketch.
            Theme: Problem solving, hand-eye coordination, training to fly a
                   space pod.
            Colorado Science Standard: 5

17. PIPE WORKS:  Team engineering.
     Students are challenged to arrange in three dimensions a set of half-pipes
     that rolls a  steel ball to specific target.
             Theme: Teamwork, problem solving.
             Colorado Science Standard: 1, 2.2, 6

18. JAMISON ROCKETS:  Understanding rocket flight.
      Students learn about rocket flight paths, thrust and construction by launching
      foam rockets into a target box.
       Theme: Problem solving, teamwork.
       Colorado Science Standard: 1, 2.2, 4.4

19. SPACE  NIGHTMARE:  The effects of distraction on performance.
     Students are challenged to control a spaceship while being distracted.
     Computer based program requires progressively more focus and 
     concentration. Students learn to focus and pay attention as well as the
     importance of over-learning.
            Theme: Problem solving, teamwork.
            Colorado Science Standard:  1

20. SLINKY STAIRMASTER: Energy and movement.
     Students work as a team to build a slinky staircase that will allow their slinky to
      successfully "walk down" all steps.  Students learn about potential and kinetic
      energy, cause and effect, momentum, balance, teamwork, problem solving
      and communication skills.
      Theme: Problem solving, teamwork and communications.
      Colorado Science Standard: 2.2, 2.3, 6

21. BALLOON ROCKETS: Building an air-powered rocket.
     Students construct balloon rockets out of balloons, straws and tape that are
     launched vertically on a taut string. Students learn about thrust and lift as they
     experiment with lifting various payloads with their rocket.
      Theme: Problem Solving, material science.
      Colorado Science Standard: 1, 2.2, 4.4
 
22. GYROSCOPE LAB: Managing an energy system.
     Students explore and study an energy system in this gyroscope lab. Students
     learn about conservation of energy, balance, friction, gyroscopic stability and
     hand-eye coordination.
      Theme: Problem Solving.
      Colorado Science Standard: 2.2, 2.3, 6

23. COMM CHECK: CB Radio / Two way radio communications.
     Students communicate between mission control and the space station to build
     a model of the space station. The only method of communication is a radio
     provided. Students in the space station are challenged to build an identical
     model of the space station as described by mission control.
      Theme: Communication, problem solving, teamwork.
      Colorado Science Standard: 4.4

24. CENTRIFUGE WHEEL: Working with energy, momentum and balance.
     Students work as a "human gyroscope" as they experience gyroscopic balance
     and stability.
      Theme: Problem solving, teamwork.
      Colorado Science Standard: 2.2, 2.3, 6

25. LUNAR ROVER: Driving a radio control car through a maze.
     Students direct a lunar rover through a series of mazes and cones. Lunar
     Rover is a timed event. Students begin to appreciate the difficulty in precise
     hand-eye coordination.
      Theme: Problem solving.
             Colorado Science Standard: 4.4

26. WORKING IN SPACE: Career Center.
     Students learn about science and technology careers.
      Theme: Career awareness.
      Colorado Science Standard: 5

27. EARTH AND MOON SYSTEM: Size, Weight and Distance.
     Students compare and contrast the relative sizes, masses, and distances
     between the Earth and Moon using scale models.
      Theme: Problem solving, teamwork.
      Colorado Science Standard: 2.1, 4.4, 6

28. PLANETARY WEIGHTS: Comparing mass of the planets in our solar system.
     Students lift and compare identical containers to see how weight varies on
     different planets.
      Theme: Problem solving.
      Colorado Science Standard: 2.1, 4.4, 6
