π¬π Seeds of Science Night! ππ¬
Our Scouts had an awesome night celebrating Science Week with a whole lot of experiments, plenty of fun and just a little bit of mess! π§ͺπ
They discovered that science can be pretty spectacular when you get to make it happen yourself!
π Rainbow Magic: Using food dye, water, folded paper towel and plastic cups, they created their very own rainbow.
ππ₯ Elephant Toothpaste: Hydrogen peroxide, yeast, water, dishwashing liquid and food dye came together to create a foamy eruption that was definitely a favourite!
π¨ Making Smoke: The Scouts built their own smoke machine using incense, a cardboard shoebox, a plastic bag and an impressive amount of masking tape to keep everything sealed. Who knew so much tape was required for science?! π
ππ₯ Balloon Science: They discovered that a match under a normal balloon makes for a very quick POP! But add some water inside the balloon and the story changes. The water absorbs the heat, allowing the balloon to withstand the flame and helping to put the match out. Science is pretty clever!
π₯£ Oobleck: And of course, we couldnβt forget the Scoutsβ favourite, cornflour and water oobleck! Is it a liquid? Is it a solid? Itβs a little bit of both and a whole lot of fun!
What a fantastic night of hands-on science, curiosity and discovery. The activities were so well organised and the Scouts had an absolute ball learning how things work. π§ͺππ
A huge thank you to everyone who helped put together such a fun and educational night. Science Week definitely went out with a bangβ¦ and a rainbowβ¦ and a bucket of oobleck! ππ₯π₯£
