  1. Teeny Tiny Twig Rafts https:\/\/www.scouts.org.uk\/activities\/teeny-tiny-twig-rafts\/\u00a0<\/a> Once the rafts are built you could have a competition to see which one will carry the biggest load. If you can find a larger piece of water (a bath or a pond) try having races.<\/li>\n
  2. Lolly Stick Catapults https:\/\/www.scouts.org.uk\/activities\/lolly-stick-catapults\/<\/a>. Try investigating how the design, or the distance the top stick is bent back, affects how far the pompom flies.<\/li>\n
  3. A Flair for Hot Air https:\/\/www.scouts.org.uk\/activities\/a-flair-for-hot-air\/<\/a>. How high can you fly? (Please note that the science explaining why hot air balloons float is WRONG. The air particles do not get lighter!! The correct explanation is – As the air inside the balloon gets warmer it expands so it becomes less dense and therefore floats in the surrounding colder air. The particles have the same weight and size.)<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
