The Science Scouts doing the Circle of Energy, a meeting tradition!

- A Day in the Centre:
  • For this meeting, the Science Scouts did activities in the centre. They watched the Balloon and Liquid Nitrogen Show at Science Station 1. Apart from that, they also went on the Helicopter Simulator Ride and watched a 3D Show which was Dog and Bugs. For each activity, they wrote down a short essay about their learning experiences and what they have learnt in each activity.



Exhausted and excited from their centre run-a-round, the Science Scouts take some downtime to complete their essays.
