This summer I am spending some time working on my lesson plans for our next program year. My Tenderhearts have requested the geology merit badge. I have to say after 7 years with AHG, this will be my first time to work on the Geology badge.
Looking at the optional requirements available, I thought that requirement #7 would be interesting. Instead of my amateur rock classification, why not find a rock from our meeting location and have NASA analyze it. Continue reading “AHG Badge Help – Geology #7”
Do you realize how many different breeds of horses exist? Just in the United States there are close to 50 different breeds. And there are too many to list from around the world. The most common breeds include Arabian, American Paint Horse, American Quarter Horse, Appaloosa and Thoroughbred.
As a child I remember how exciting the thought of being an astronaut and walking in space would be. I could not imagine how breathtaking it would be to watch a sunrise in space, or humbling it would be to look out into the depths of the universe and realize how small the human race is. As I have grown older, and the space program has changed, I no longer dream of spending months in space away from my family and loved ones.
Many years ago, when my daughter earned this badge, the instructor used sticky notes to teach the parts of a horse.
This semester we had several new Tenderhearts join our troop. So I set out to complete their Joining Award. To help them learn the AHG Oath, we played AHG Oath Twister.
