Troop 4: Meeting 4

Troop Leaders: Daniel, Yati, Ash

Senior Science Scouts: Ummeesh, Desmond, Khavishini, Darshwini

Troop 4 of the Petrosains Science Scouts became shutterbugs for the day! Photography was the name of the game and the clue? Well, say 'cheese'!

1. Science of Photography

The meeting began with an introduction to the science of photography. Science Scouts were introduced to photography terms like exposure, shutter speed, and aperture. Simple light physics were also discussed.

2. Photography Challenge

In groups, Science Scouts were then challenged to take 3 photos, one per category. The categories are 'People', 'Petrosains', and 'Art'. The end results were then printed and displayed for judging.

The photographs were great! The judges had a hard time selecting the winners. To find out who won, come back soon and we'll post the results up!


The Science Scouts took some time during the photography challenge to explore the Harmonograph exhibit.

One of the groups had a discussion just before the challenge began.
