Troop 3: Meeting 14

Coordinators: Daniel, Ash, Ain, Yati

Cartesian Diver:
The Science Scouts made a model of the popular 'Cartesian Diver' using a plastic bottle, straw, and modeling clay. This simple activity demonstrates the principles of pressure in an interactive, and engaging form. The Science Scouts also took the time to embellish their models with clay figures on the top of the bottle.

Science in Ramadan
The Science Scouts also took part in more 'Science in Ramadan' activities. This time, they joined a workshop on building a battery-powered lamp which they constructed and designed. The Science Scouts also did some explosive science as they constructed cannons, powered by compressed gas.
