***********************************
Leaders: This page briefly summarizes the workshops planned. Information was taken from the Brownie Try-It book and the Junior Badge book.
Brownie Try-It = Science in Action (pg. 126)
1. Science and Technology Hunt – give a list of things to find in the room that show how science and technology go together (i.e. things of plastic, from trees) – discuss how science and technology work together
2. Weird Glop – observe the difference between solid/liquid/gas, discuss how some things can be only one or all these (i.e. water)
3. Balloon Blowing – they will blow up a balloon without using their own breath - with baking soda and vinegar – discuss how that works
4. Butterfly of Many Colors – ink in black felt tip pen is made from chemicals of different colors, mixed together these colors look black, discuss how you can see the different colors
Junior Badge = Science Discovery (pg. 200)
1. Chemical Appearing Act – discover how you can use a chemical reaction to make an artistic design, sometimes when chemicals react with each other colors change
2. Light and Reflection – make a simple kaleidoscope – which relies on reflected light to create its special effects
3. Water Tricks – why does the needle float, how many drops of water can you get to stay on the penny, what happens when soap meets the skin of water molecules on the penny and why
4. See What? – how is your brain challenged by optical illusions
5. Here's the Rub – discover how speed is affected by friction, how can you use what you learned when riding in a car or riding on your bike
6. Become a Scientist – more men enter fields of science and technology then women do, talk to a female scientist and find out: how she got interested in her field, who encouraged her to pursue science, where does she get information, which people are most supportive to her in her job
