Required:Per team:
- 1 pair work gloves
- 1 plastic jar with lid
- 1 paper plate
- 50-100 popcorn kernels
Notes:Depending on age of campers, you may want to pop the corn kernels to make them easier to pick up.
Instructions:Your space exploration team has been searching for new fuel sources across the galaxy and has discovered a planet with a source of highly radioactive fuel. Each small piece can power a city and is worth $10M. But, they can not be touched and extended exposure to them will kill you.

Each team lines up single file at the start line. The plate is placed about 30 feet away covered with popcorn kernels.
Each astronaut must:
  • Put on protective gloves to shield from the radioactivity.
  • Take the shielded fuel container (jar) out to the fuel source (plate with popcorn).
  • Open the container.
  • Place 5 pieces of fuel in the container.
  • Close the container.
  • Bring the container and gloves back to the next astronaut.

At the end of a time limit, each team determines the value of the fuel they have collected.
