Crazy Science

About a month ago, the Brownies enjoyed a guest speaker to finish their Key to Stem.  Dr. Terry Lawrence Taylor, talked to the girls about women in science and did some fun activities related to science.   For an opening activity, the girls drew pictures of what they thought a scientist looked like. Some of the pictures, were pretty crazy.

The girls learned about what it takes to be a scientist as well as some of the jobs that they could do when being a scientist.  Such as a doctor, a nurse, an engineer, or a teacher.   They learned that their finger prints are not all the same and that there is three different types:  arch, loop and whorl.  To test this theory, the girls used magic marker on their fingers and dabbed it on a piece of paper.  When all 5 fingers were done, they were able to see what their finger prints were. 

The girls had a great time learning from Dr. Terry Lawrence Taylor.   She encouraged all the girls to like science and have fun with it.   Even though this finishes up their Key to Stem, they may still work on the interest badges. The 4 below, will be in the badge challenges section of the site.
