G.E.M.S. 2005

Girls Enjoying Math and Science

Troops/Groups

Do you have a favorite number game?

Have you ever experimented with what magnets can really do?

Does the weather and the way clouds form pictures amaze you?

How many different smells can you identify with a blindfold on?

Do you know a game with about balancing? Guessing games?

The Houston Museum of Natural Science invites GSSJC girls, troops, and families to GEMS 2005 on Saturday, April 30, 9 a.m.-1 p.m. See the February issue of The Golden Link and the Council Information Network (CIN) for event registration information.

Troops wanting to host a booth can pick a topic from the list on the left or come up with other ideas dealing with math and science. Girl Scouts, Daisies - age 17, will be roaming the magnificent Houston Museum of Natural Science. The sky’s the limit!

Hint: Ideas can be found on the Internet, in the Girl Scout handbooks, at your local library, at any museum, and in your own imagination! Be sure and try a few sample activities in your troop before you decide on greatest one to share in your troop’s booth. Once decided – practice, practice, practice!

Booths will be selected by a panel of judges to offer the best variety of math and science experiences.

Details on the booths:
Booths will be 8’ x 5’. Troop signs and fun art can decorate the front and sides. One table and two chairs will be provided. There are no electrical outlets. Two girls will staff the booth and one adult at all times. Troops can have shifts to allow more girls the opportunity to participate in other activities. Troops that desire a booth for only half of the event time may “buddy up” with another troop from their service unit. (Buddy registrations must be sent in together.)

Additional instructions for booths will be included in your booth host registration packet.
