Game Instructions:
Your task is to figure
out how much explosive force the Space Pod needs to enter
the glowing Target Zone at the top of the screen.
Drag your explosives
underneath the Pod, then "Launch!" Don't let the Pod
hit the top, though, or it will explode!

What does
that weird stuff in the game with the 10 and the exponent
mean?
Scientific notation is
a way to write a
number as the
product
of a number
between 1 and 10
and a multiple of
10.
Examples:
Just play with your calculator a bit and you'll see that,
when you change the exponent on that 10, the overall value
changes a HUGE amount!
If you don't know what the little number on the 10 means,
check out our Coolmath.com lesson on
Exponents!
