Troop 4: Meeting 13

Troop Leaders: Qila, Azni, Ash, Daniel

Guest Facilitators: Iqbal

Senior Science Scouts: Khavishini, Darshwini, Desmond, Ummeesh, Jer Yeu

Guest facilitator Iqbal is back with a great activity; the 'Propellosaurus'! No, it's not a dinosaur but a wind-propelled vehicle that looks like one. Science Scouts learned about electric circuits and wind propulsion.

Firstly, Science Scouts gathered in groups to listen to Iqbal's introduction to the science behind the 'Propellosaurus'. Science Scouts then began assembling their machines with help from the Troop Leaders and the Senior Science Scouts.









The Science Scouts then proceeded to test their assembled machines. Tweaking and refining is needed to ensure optimal speed and acceleration!















Completed machines were then decorated and then tested. Points were awarded for successful runs!
