- ‘Peanuts’ Animal Sculpture:
- The Science Scouts was explained about packing peanuts and the differences between polystyrene and starch-based. They built a sculpture of animals of their choice from the starch-based packing peanuts by sticking it together with water, decorate it with colour markers and gave a presentation on it for few minutes. They learned facts on living things (animals) from each other’s presentations and also practise their fine motor skills.
