We ate the dehydrated fruit we made last week after discussing the effects of evaporation and clouds.
Some of the girls really liked the dehydrated kiwi (surprisingly), a few really disliked the food.

They were told how good that was to do.

4th meeting
|
10/21

Sign-up, informational.
We had 5 more girls join up for a total of 10 girls! Welcome to all of our new members!
Discussed troop rules such as no running, take a buddy with you at all times, never leave your buddy, etc.
Introduced our Troop Mascot (a betta fish) named Trooper.
Cut up some fruit and put it in a dehydrator to learn about evaporation. The fruit will evaporate over a week and the girls will see the fruits of their labor when they come next week. This will also loosely tie in with the idea of water evaporating to make clouds.
Discuss the delay in eye/brain/body reaction.
Looked at a head model with facial muscles and vessels.
Do some activities to demonstrate different body reactions to stimuli.
Discussed and practiced washing and drying our hands correctly. Discussed why you should be particularly careful about washing your hands in
a public bathroom.
Each girl received a paper with the Girl Scout Promise on it in both written language and in Level 1 uncontracted Braille. They also viewed a page completely
done in Braille with the Girl Scout Law on it.
