On Cub and Girl Scout STEAM Night last Saturday at the Long Island Children's Museum, Daisy scouts rotated through four hands-on stations designed to spark their interest in science and exploration.
Animal Adventure Station : STEAM Night coordinator showed girls number of animals including Mango, the bearded dragon; Mochi, a gecko and Brie the "fancy rat." The girls learned how evolution had shaped their bodies.
Ocean Odysses : Cephalopods like octopuses uses jet propulsion to move through water. Scouts recreated a balloon race to demonstate locomotion of the science of fluid dynamics.
Flying Fish : Scouts created flying fish to test out a wind tube to explore principales of aerodynamics.
Buoyant Boats - Scouts created their own foil boat to experience with salinity of water to learn about physics of buoyancy and density.
