Taking part in I’m a Scientist is a great opportunity for Guides, Brownies and Rainbows to chat to real scientists. Here are a few ways your group can use their live chat towards completing interest badges:
For Guide leaders
- Your Guides could chat to scientists to come up with some ideas for experiments they can do at home for their Investigating badge…
- Chat to medical researchers about the ingredients used in treatments and health products for their Natural Remedies badge…
- Or discuss the way science is communicated and represented in the media for their Media Critic badge
For Brownie leaders
- Get your Brownies to interview some scientists about the challenges of their jobs and what makes it fun for the first part of their Jobs badge…
- Come up with their own astronaut training programme by talking to space scientists and engineers for their Space badge…
- Talk to aeronautical and aviation engineers about how to build the best distance flyer or high flyer for their Aviation badge…
- Or chat to environmental scientists about ways they can save waste at home for the Zero Waste badge
For Rainbow leaders
- How about chatting to some real engineers with your Rainbows to discuss the strongest shapes for building, and the things to consider when designing a town for their Construction badge?
- Or talking to some environmental scientists for their Nature badge, or the psychologists in the zone, for their Healthy Mind badge?
