Congratulations to the June challenge winners! Submissions were really great though do try to write them up in your own words next time. If you do copy and paste, do indicate the source.
Science Scouts who earned an 'Investigating Living Things' badge are Mimi, Liyana, Hannah, Nik Nur Liyana, Khavishini, and Sathayashini. Jai Prakash earns 3 points.
Don't forget our meetings in July! We'll see you on July 11 and don't miss our special meeting on July 25! More details on that later.
For July, the challenge to earn a 'Citizen Science' badge, is you need to be kitchen-sleuths (or food investigators!). Do some research (ask some questions!) and find out the common ingredients to the two dishes below AND tell us, where do these ingredients come from. For example, rice flour is processed from rice grains which come from the paddy plant.
The two dishes are:
- Strawberry chocolate cake (yum!)
- Lontong (Ash's favourite!)

Science Fact Box
If you've ever helped your parents in the kitchen, you may have noticed that cutting onions make you cry. When you cut onions, a stinging gas is released and when it is in contact with your eyes, your body produces tears in defense. The tears dilute the irritant and help remove it from your eyes.
So if you're cutting onions and want to avoid being teary-eyed, try some of these tips:
1. Cut onions with a fan switched on. The breeze from the fan can disperse the gas to avoid it irritating your eyes (though it might irritate someone else instead!).
2. Use goggles!
3. Have a clean bowl of water ready. Once the onions are chopped, immediately put them into the water so the gases will not reach your eyes. You can also rinse them under running water.
Give it a go and remember, always inform your parents if you're doing stuff in the kitchen. Safety is important especially when using dangerous tools such as knives.
