What Are Gamma Rays?
Fermi
Fermi goes into Space
• This animation shows Fermi launching into Earth orbit and observing the sky in gamma rays
• Fermi was launched on June 10, 2008 from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida

Fermi Race Game
• Play in teams of two • Open both packs of cards – shuffle well
then deal 8 cards to each person• The rest of the cards are the “draw
deck”• Start by building satellite• Once you have all the parts, turn over
the board and be the first to observe 5 objects
Fermi
On each turn
• Draw card from deck• Play Satellite (or Object) + Experience
cards if you can• Play Action cards if you want to• If you have less than 4 cards, take more
from deck. If you have more than 8 cards, discard some to pile
Fermi
Blue Experience Cards
• Left hand side is for Stage 1:
Right side is for Stage 2 – these are points needed to observe objects
Educator card Science team card
There are also “Wild Cards”
Fermi
Yellow borders = Action Cards
• Control flow of game – Offensive and Defensive
There are also “Instant Action” defensive cards which can counteract your opponents actions
Fermi
Double Sided cards
• Red borders = Satellite part cards – use in Stage 1
1 Science team card
AND
1 Educator card
1 Science team card
OR
2 Educator cards
What you need for the satellite part
Fermi
Double Sided cards
• Green borders = Space object cards – use in Stage 2
How many points you need for this object
The first player to get different objects wins!
