Clue 1: Match each rocket with the correct astronaut. After you match the rockets with the astronauts, line the cards up from least to greatest. You should first lay down the astronaut card and then the rocket that matches the astronaut card. If you line the cards up correctly, you will be able to read the clue.
Clue 2: Determine which decimal is the largest decimal through a bracket system. This funnel will get you even closer to the fuel your rockets need. Compare each set of decimals on the bracket and record the largest decimal. Continue until there is ONE winner. The digits of that decimal will unlock the 4-digit lock.
Clue 3: Use symbols to compare each set of decimals. Record how many of each symbol you used on the recording sheet. This will give you the code of the 3-digit lock.
Clue 4: Solve each of the fraction problems. Use the key at the bottom of the page to determine the five colors on the five color lock. This clue will give you the key to the fuel tank, so you can make it home!

This can be used with Breakout Edu boxes or with your own boxes and locks. If you do not have boxes and locks, you may use the digital version, where students submit their answers on Google Forms.
