Wizardry Fun Patch
We’ll begin our wizard training by making a magic wand. We’ll use it to create an oozing potion that will literally climb out of our cauldrons. Next we’ll become mad scientists as we attempt to make a mysterious liquid change colors inside our test tubes. We’ll then learn the chemistry behind each of our “magical” creations.
Cooperative Games Galore Fun Patch
Girls will step up as leaders as they move through a series pf challenges. They’ll learn to improve their communication skills and which areas they excel. They’ll learn that the group has a variety of talents and how best to use them to serve the team. While girls will be expected to complete the challenges without adult guidance, they will be coached on how to improve their communication and how to support one another. This class can be done inside or out.
Home Scientist
(Brownie)
Mix a variety of household items, test them for their acidity by using a pH indicator, make a lava lamp, and create an explosion!
Learn and Earn: Brownie Home Scientist badge
Roller Coaster Challenge
(Daisy) Design and build your own ramp or rollercoaster for a marble to travel through using household materials and your own ingenuity.
Learn and Earn: Daisy Roller Coaster Badge
Space Science Explorer
(Daisy) Learn about the layers of our sun, split the sun’s rays into a rainbow and make a pinhole projector to see the sun. Conduct an experiment to determine how the moon got its craters. Finally, make a star pattern using toothpicks and marshmallows and share stories that you connect to them with the group.
Learn and Earn: Daisy Space Science Explorer Badge
Fantastic Fling Flier
(Brownie)Join us as we uncover the science behind concepts such as lift and air pressure. Build your own glider, rotocopter and airplane. Use the trial and error technique to perfect your designs in hopes of creating the perfect flying machine!
Learn and Earn: Brownie Fling Flyer Design Challenge Badge
Important: The following materials are supplied by the Girl Scout: 4 sheets of plain white paper, scissors, scotch tape, 3 paper clips, 3 straws and a printed copy of: https://exploratorium.edu/science_explorer/roto_patterns.html
Crime Scene Investigation
Learn and Earn: Junior Detective Badge
Practice the power of observation after watching a short online video, make invisible ink, observe our fingerprints, extract dna from a piece of fruit and attempt to solve a real mystery!
Materials Provided by GS: one lemon, one small paint brush, hair dryer, one plain piece of white paper, a pencil, scotch tape, and a teaspoon of flour or other another powder
Space Science Investigator
Learn and Earn: Junior Space Science Investigator Badge
We’ll compare the sizes of the planets in our solar system to the sun, find our age on other planets, make a 3-D constellation and begin to build a mars rover.
Balloon Car Race
Earn and Learn: Junior Balloon Car Design Challenge Badge
Design and build your own race cars that move with the power of our lungs. We’ll use engineering practices for problem solving and trial and error techniques.
Paddle Boat
Earn and Learn: Junior Paddle Boat Design Challenge Badge
Girl scouts will be able to demonstrate how boats float, define buoyancy, ballast and potential versus kinetic energy as we use the design process to build a paddle boat that can travel through a tub of water.
