Squirrels Exciting Experiments Activity Badge

Squirrels Exciting Experiments Activity Badge

Exciting Experiments badge

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.

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.
