DIY Hand-Drum:
The Science Scouts, led by facilitator Yati, learned how to make their own hand-drum using everyday materials. The Science Scouts were first briefed on what to do and then in smaller groups, each led by a facilitator, the Science Scouts then constructed their hand-drum.
Construction begins with the frame which can be in any shape! A taut cellophane sheet is then glued on and what's next will be putting the holder and drum-beads in place. The Science Scouts then decorated their own hand-drums.
Science Scouts learned about the physics of sound and how different materials, shapes, and sizes will create hand-drums of varying sounds.

Balloon Cannon:
Facilitator Iqbal then showed the Science Scouts how to make their very own balloon-cannon. The cannon is constructed of sturdy mounting board and launches a balloon projectile for safe, harmless (and science'y) fun!
Science Scouts learned about pressure, especially the building up of air pressure inside the balloon which will determine the force of the projectile's launch.
