We promise to "do our best" to help them achieve their rank requirements while sparking their imaginations with fun, interactive and hands-on science.
Science Shows
Our "Up, Up and Away" stage show addresses rank requirements for: Webelos Scientist Activity Badge (only partial), Bear Aircraft Arrow Point, Wolf Trail, Science Belt Loop and Science Academics Pin. This is a 45-minute show with volunteer scouts chosen from the audience.
"Fire & Ice" stage show is a highly entertaining 45-minute show. It covers such topics as states of matter, the scientific method, and chemical reactions.
Webelos Activity Badges
Webelos Workshops bring a Mad Scientist to your location of choice, and include all supplies and equipment.
Webelos Scientist Activity Badge Science Workshop is a concentrated two hour session. As the Webelos Scout Book references, each Webelos has to do NINE different things before he can earn the Scientist Activity Badge. In our 2-hour Webelos Science FunShop, the scouts would:
* learn about Bernoulli's Principle * learn about Pascal's Law * learn about Newton's First Law of Motion * conduct atmospheric pressure experiments * conduct air pressure experiments * experiment with water pressure * learn how to make fog * form crystals * conduct optical illusion experiments
For an even more explosive science experience, you can add an optional rocket launch.
Webelos Geologist Badge. This is a one-hour Workshop that includes 5 activities.
* classify minerals according to hardness * learn how we use minerals to build things we use every day * experiment with mountain formation * explore fossils from our area * learn about the causes of geological events such as earthquakes and geysers
Webelos Engineer Badge. This is a one-hour Workshop with 5 activities to satisfy Engineer Badge Requirements. To complete the badge, the Scout must also talk to an Engineer, Surveyr or Architect about occupations in engineering.
* learn how electricity is generated and transmitted * draw a floorplan of your home * construct an electrical circuit * construct bridges of 3 different designs * build a working catapult the Scout will take home
