You will be working in groups of three as a team of astronauts.  Your survival depends on selecting no more than 5 objects to bring with you as you try to meet back with the mother ship.  Your challenge is to rank in order (most important to least)  those objects that have been left undamaged on your ship.  Base your decisions on what you already know about conditions in space and on the moon, as well as the new information you will access on the sites listed under RESOURCES.

 
•  select 3-5 objects from the following list that your team needs to survive during your attempt to meet back with the ship
•  rank your objects in order from most to least important
•  justify your choices in your group discussion and on the Decision Chart
•  present your findings to the class in a group oral presentation
