Hide and Seek Moon: Experiment with tools that scientists at NASA use! You will investigate objects that are both near and far. Identify how different cultures around the world view the moon.

Ice Extraction: An oxygen tank has been cracked by a moonquake! It is your job to fix it. Produce oxygen from frozen lunar material!
