Lesson Summaries
1.
HONESTY
OG1 discovers
a calculator dropped by AB1 and takes it because no one sees her pick
it up. Later, at the Space Station Learning Team math test, the team asks
where she got her calculator. She lies about how she got it and how it
was delivered. Then AB1 searches for his missing calculator. OG1 confesses
to having taken the calculator, and returns it to AB1. She is ashamed
of having lied. AB1 says she can borrow the calculator anytime as long
as she returns it. AB1 then defines honesty as “telling the truth
and not being deceptive.” OG1 responds to Commander Gordon’s
question: “How can we be more honest?” with the words: “By
not hiding things or being sneaky.” Commander Gordon points out
how complicated and hurtful lying can be.
2.
COURAGE
Two characters
show courage in this episode, each under different circumstances. First,
AB1 role - plays with OG1 for encouragement to ask Commander Gordon about
an educational field trip during regular class time. When the station
almost gets hit with asteroids, OG2, who was supposed to be stationed
at the monitoring console but had decided to go water plants instead,
hears the warning alarm and hurries to reroute the station in the nick
of time! Meanwhile, AB1 asks Commander Gordon about the field trip, and
Gordon agrees that the team can attend. He then congratulates AB1 and
OG2 for displaying courage and explains courage to the students.
3.
PREJUDICE
The Space
Station Learning Team goes to the Intergalactic “Warp -Waffle”
Tournament full of high hopes, and returns dejected because the judges
declared that OG1 and OG2 couldn’t play. The reason was as silly
and unfair as all prejudice is: the “OGs” are green! Horrified
for their teammates, AB1 and AB2 withdraw from the tournament, and the
team returns to the space station to tell Commander Gordon what happened.
They have a discussion about the unfairness of prejudice and the pain
it causes. Afterwards, they vow never to treat other people this way,
having learned first-hand how much it hurts. CC1 interrupts with a message
from Warp-Waffle headquarters: the commissioners who rejected OG1 and
OG2 have been fired for their actions. The whole team is now invited back
to play in the tournament, and off they go, waving pennants and pompons.

PATIENCE
A class demonstration
for the Learning Team has been one year in preparation. It involves taking
off the team’s anti-gravity belts while they are on the moon. OG2
is the most excited about it, and can’t wait for the demonstration
to start. When he arrives, he discovers that the class has been postponed
for another day. Commander Gordon then enlists OG1’s help to show
OG2 how to be patient.
5. RESPONSIBILITY
AB2 dozes
off on comet watch. Meanwhile, OG1 has to forego a game of Warp-Waffle
in order to clean up the greenhouse and water the plants. OG2 and AB1
are cleaning the storage bay. Suddenly the alarm sounds to signal an approaching
comet, so Commander Gordon tells CC1 to redirect the space station out
of harm’s way. Then CC1 says that if AB2 had stayed awake, there
wouldn’t have been an emergency. After that, Gordon asks the team
what responsibility means. AB2 says that she must do what she said she’ll
do before anything else, because that’s how you earn trust. The
rest of the team agrees.
6.
RESPECT
OG2 and AB2
are angry with AB1 for taking their things without permission, not bringing
them back, and leaving them all over the station. OG2 decides to get even
with AB1 by hiding his earphones. Gordon ...
