Scouts will see, hear, taste, touch and smell their way to earning a “Senses” Try-It. The girls will work together to conduct experiments using their senses. The fun includes a tongue-mapping taste test, sound and texture games and visual puzzles. They will also use all of their senses to create a special ice cream treat – they choose the flavor! Then, it’s off to explore the Museum’s exhibits for private play time, including the Our Five Senses exhibit featured in My Body Works, an area where children learn about human anatomy and how to stay healthy.
