BIG SNIFF DAY!
This ALL TROOPS meeting explored a specially themed activity relating to the sense of smell.
In Big Sniff Day, Science Scouts first learned about the chemistry of scents. The science of perfumes were explained and key concepts introduced, such as how different scents are utilised and how scents can be identified as a top, middle or base note.
Science Scouts then had the opportunity to create their own perfume! From an array of 29 different essential scents, the Science Scouts mixed and matched the scents to create their own unique fragrance that they can bring home.
Finally, Science Scouts took part in a quiz to test their scents-knowledge and those with correct answers took home prizes.
The Science Scouts from Troops 1-3 all huddled to listen to Azhar's introduction to the chemistry of scents!
