AHG Badge Helps – Living and Working in Space #20

~ Life of Momma B ~ Leave a comment

Living and Working in Space My daughter wanted to work on Living and Working in Space Requirement #20. The requirement has the PiPa build a model of a space station.

The girl handbook refers the girls to the Indianapolis Children’s Museum website. They offer a program “Cosmic Quest” which allows you to build an online version.

Lily was able to find the Indianapolis Children’s Museum website with little difficulty (here).  However, she did not find Cosmic Quest in the children’s section.  I thought I would help you locate the program – It is in the Educator’s section – Or can be found here.

I hope this is helpful to you.

If you are working on the Living and Working in Space merit badge, check out these other resources:

NOTE: The requirements have been simplified here. Please be sure to read the full text in the Girl Handbook to make sure you fully understand the requirements.

AviationHave you completed the Aviation merit badge? Do you know the difference between yawl and pitch?

I found a great interactive children’s game to help explain the difference between the two.

Take a few minutes and check out the Flight Adventures Game for students found at the Children’s Museum of Indianapolis. The game allows children to change the elevons and rudder on the FPG-9 to direct it to the target.  The elevons and rudder control the pitch, yawl yaw and roll.

This website was recommended in the AHG Handbook for help with the Living and Working in Space Merit Badge.

AviationI have found the Aviation Merit Badge to be one of the more challenging merit badges American Heritage Girls has to offer.  It requires a lot of technical knowledge to be able to teach it, or a good hands-on museum. But, considering today is Amelia Earhart’s Birthday, I wanted to offer some assistance for those working on this badge.

AHG Badge Help – 20th Anniversary Patch #6

~ Life of Momma B ~ Leave a comment

Upside DownDid you enjoy the AHG 20th Anniversary Convention as much as we did? My daughter and I had a blast.  In addition to the workshops, we also enjoyed seeing old AHG friends from around the country.  Having been part of 4 AHG troop in 4 different states, I have many AHG friends that I only see on facebook or at this type of event.

Now that we are home and have recovered from the trip my daughter and her friends are excited to earn the 20th Anniversary Patch. Most of the girls completed a couple of the requirements while at National, so I am teaching a workshop this summer to help them complete it so they can wear their autographed patch on their uniform when the troop resumes meetings in September.
