Troop 1: Meeting 2

Coordinators:
Dan, Ash, Ain, Jean, Greetha

Activities:
- Circle of Energy:

• This is an energiser activity to foster team cohesiveness and to encourage bonding.

- F1 Straw Track:

• This activity requires participants to build a race track for a toy car using only straws and tape. The track needs to be elevated and consist of at least one bend. The challenge is for participants to design a track that allows the car to move the furthest without toppling over.

Science Scouts busy constructing their F1 Straw Track.

- Silent Structures:

• This is an activity designed to foster teamwork and communication while approaching concepts related to structure stability and design. Teams have to construct a structure made from paper rolls that can house a team member and is solid enough to survive a 1 metre drop. Structure must be freestanding.

A team is constructing their structure using paper rolls and masking tape.



It wasn't easy for the Science Scouts to do this in complete and utter silence!

- Take-Home Activity:

• Scouts are given a sheet with 4 close-up shots of different objects. They are to guess what the objects are by observing visual details and deducing possible options.

- Centre Walkabout

• The Science Scouts had a walkabout in the centre to familiarise themselves with the place.
  

- Dominoes Activity

• This activity requires participants to build a tower using domino blocks and place a Styrofoam cup with candy inside. The challenge is to use other domino blocks and then topple them to create a chain reaction that will collapse the tower. This activity highlights the concepts of energy transference.
