Table tennis
Table tennis (also known as ping-pong) is a racket sport derived from tennis but distinguished by its playing surface being atop a stationary table, rather than the court on which players stand. Either individually or in teams of two, players take alternating turns returning a light, hollow ball over the table's net onto the opposing half of the court using small rackets until they fail to do so, which results in a point for the opponent. Play is fast, requiring quick reaction and constant attention, and is characterized by an emphasis on spin, which can affect the ball's trajectory more than in other ball sports.

Ice Hockey
Ice hockey is a fast-moving team sport. It is usually played on an ice surface called a rink. Hockey players wear ice skates and move with great speed and skill across the ice. Two teams of six players compete to score the most points, or goals. A team scores when it moves the puck—a small, hard rubber disk—into the opponent’s goal. Hockey is a rough sport, with a great deal of body contact between the players.

Explain - Delelop explanations for the objects and phenomena they observe.
Model - Use computers to create models that describe astronomical objects and phenomena.

Leighton Buzzard Railway
The Leighton Buzzard Light Railway (LBLR) is a light railway in Leighton Buzzard in Bedfordshire, England. It operates on 2 ft (610 mm) narrow-gauge track and is just under 3 miles (4.8 km) long. The line was built after the First World War to serve sand quarries north of the town. In the late 1960s the quarries switched to road transport and the railway was taken over by volunteers, who now run the line as a heritage railway.
