Troop 4: Meeting 8

Troop Leaders: Yati, Ash, Ain

Senior Science Scouts: Ummeesh, Khavishini, Darshwini, Shaz, Desmond

Brr... it's a chilling meeting as Science Scouts explored all things cold and cool!

States of Matter
The Petrosains Science Scouts explored the 3 common states of matters namely solid, liquid and gas through an immersive physical activity.

Ice Cube Fishing
Science Scouts were challenged to fish for ice cubes with just a thread and salt! The unique effects of salt on ice is explored through a game-based experiment.

Dry Ice Experiment
Science Scouts watched a video which demonstrates unique science experiments using frozen carbon dioxide in solid form, more commonly known as dry ice.

Freeze Challenge

Science Scouts grabbed fistfuls of ice cubes and experienced the freezing sensation that's perceived by the sense of touch and subsequently pain. These biological reactions are discussed and the scientific principles behind our body and the cold are discussed.

Future Energy

Science Scouts had the chance to try out the latest exhibition area in Petrosains – Future Energy! They learned while interacting with the alternative energy games.
