The Physics Badge


We had a great time doing the physics badge. We did an experiment with friction, using a car and a ramp and some cornmeal and oil and water - we did an experiment using balls and timers - we put water on quarters and checked what soap did to the surface tension - we had an experiment using prisms and lasers and each Guide got to keep a pair of "rainbow glasses" that show the colours in light. We checked out various lenses and looked at things through them - and we were very lucky indeed because Poppy was able to bring in some stage lights to demonstrate the properties of additive light!

All girls who were present earned their physics badge.

For next week:

We are having our final holiday party. Please bring:
a) a potluck dish to share
b) some non-perishable food for the foodbank
c) a smile!

We will be giving out badges that have been earned so far this year. For some of you that will mean a lot of sewing over the holidays - well done!

Don't forget your indoor shoes at this snowy time of year.
