Squirrels Exciting Experiments Activity Badge (Rolls Royce)

Squirrels Scouts Exciting Experiments Activity Badge - Supported by Rolls-Royce

Scientists learn how the world works by asking big questions and giving things a go. Now it’s your turn to try some experiments and see what you can discover.

Rolls-Royce and Scouts

Rolls-Royce is a proud, long-term partner of The Scouts, working with us to spark curiosity and confidence in young people through Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM).
 
Science isn’t just something you learn in school – it’s a way of thinking, exploring and understanding the world around you. That’s why we believe it’s important for young people to get hands-on with science from an early age and keep learning throughout their lives.
 
Through activities, young people don't just discover the fun of experiments and science, they also build essential skills for life, like teamwork, creative thinking and problem solving. Together with Rolls-Royce, we’re helping young people gain the confidence and skills they need to succeed, wherever life takes them.

How to earn your badge:

1) We find out about the world around us using our senses. Try some activities to explore all of your different senses. What can you see, hear, smell, taste, and feel?

You could try different ways to remember what you learn – you could talk about what you found, keep some notes, draw a picture, or take some photos. 

2) Scientists think about how things might work and do experiments to find out if they’re right. Get stuck in and try some experiments together. What do you think will happen?

You could build a rocket, grow a plant, build a boat, spot some wildlife, look for some stars, or try something totally different. 

3) Being a scientist is all about sharing what you’ve learned. Tell a friend about your experiments and what you found out.
