Two teams touch down at the STARS space station to take on three scientific challenges to win out-of-this world prizes. First, they must work out if an object is heavier or lighter than another before placing it on a giant set of scales. Then the young scientists have to complete a huge fossil by digging for dinosaur parts in ball pits. Finally, the teams must make their way across a giant inflatable version of the solar system. Can they get from Neptune to Mercury by stepping on every planet in the right order without getting knocked by the swinging stars?Meanwhile, Ayo and Sam learn about the importance of exercise to keep our bodies and minds healthy.

Two teams touch down at the STARS space station to take on three scientific challenges to win out-of-this world prizes. First, they must decide whether objects will float or sink in a water tank. Then, in a game based on light and shadows, the young scientists have to figure out what their team captains are holding by observing their shadows behind a huge screen. Finally, the teams learn about structures by building arched bridges they can step across to reach an island.Meanwhile, Sam and Ayo are competing to see who can make the best model rocket. The scientist who loses must clean the other's dirty lab beakers for a week! Who will triumph?

Two teams touch down at the STARS space station to take on three scientific challenges to win out-of-this world prizes. First, the teams must identify objects using just one of five senses. Then, the young scientists have to complete a huge fossil by digging for dinosaur parts in ball pits. Finally, the teams bounce around on trampolines to feel like astronauts experiencing low gravity on the moon. They must grab as many space objects hanging above them as they can before the time is up. Meanwhile, Ayo is missing the weather she can experience back on Earth, so she and Sam recreate different weather conditions using items around the lab.

Two teams touch down at the STARS space station to take on three scientific challenges to win out-of-this world prizes. First, they must work out if an object is heavier or lighter than another before placing it on a giant set of scales. Then, there's a healthy eating quiz based on the food groups that make up a balanced diet. Finally, the teams must take items from a giant conveyer belt and sort them so they can be reused and recycled. To make it even trickier, the players are attached to bungee cords! Meanwhile, Sam and Ayo have installed an update on the supercomputer - but now it won't do what it's supposed to do. They must fix the computer by giving it a list of coded instructions.
