Hi friends, Mini here!
As autumn moves in I thought I would show you some science. How you can make a compass with some craftiness. This is my 5/5 post for #ss_scoutscientist with @te_tibu @pandygramxo @stuffiescouts

I will guide you through my photos, and the last one is a short clip showing it works.

1. You need a bit of cork, so I took a wine cork and a sharp knife.
2. Here I have cut a thin slice of cork.
3. You will also need a magnet and a sewing needle.
4. Here I have used the needle and the magnet. I held the magnet in one paw and with the other I took the needle and stroke it against the magnet. Making sure to stroke it at the same way all the time. For me, I stroke from up to down. This part is important.
5. This is how I will place the needle on the cork.
6. Here is a photo of my cork+needle is in the water pointing north. Compared to a real compass.
7. My video showing how the needle turn in the water, so that the eye of the needle is pointing north.
I did this part several times, to make sure it worked.

So. Why do did work? Well, all across the globe we have magnet fields, and when I charge the needle with magnet power it works just like a compass and turn to north.

I encourage you to try. Its fun doing science!

$Hi friends, Mini here! Today Im gonna talk about rainbows. You know the colourful event that might happen when it rains and sun is out. This is my 4/5 for #ss_scoutscientist with @te_tibu @pandygramxo @stuffiescouts A rainbow is an optical phenomen cause by refraction. You need water and light, and if you are lucky you can get a rainbow, or if it happens during the night, its called a moonbow. That can happen, even though its not as common. Maybe just because it happens during the night when everyone is asleep? Anyhow. A rainbow is an arch that happens in direct opposite site from the sun. Unless you are flying or where high up. But for most of the time you will have the sun on one side, and the rainbow on the other side. If you are on top, you may be able to see a whole rainbow circle. But how does a rainbow happens? Well, sun shines on a drop in the sky, and part of that sun-ray is refracted on the surface, while some rays shine through. When this light hits the back of the drop, some of it is refracted back. There is a whole matematical formula about how sun rays hit the waterdrop and how if reflect and refract back into what becomes a rainbow. The most intense colours happen when the sun ray hit the drop at a 42 degree angle. Sometimes you can see a double rainbow (there is also know to have been more), and this one is a bit further out from the first rainbow. The primary rainbow shows the colour from red on the outside and violet on the inside, but the second rainbow is the opposite. Red inside and violet on the outside. Shall I be honest? There is very much science involved with a rainbow, but does it take away the magic in them? Absolutley not! Can I look up at the sky during a rainfall and hope for a rainbow? Yes, I totally will. My brain is too fluffy to really understand the refractions and mathematical science with rainbows, but I will enjoy them non the less. Maybe there is a pot of honey at the end of it. 😍$

Today I would like to explain an interesting scientific phenomenon I researched after I spotted the Moon in the sky during the day! 😱

Contrary to popular perception, the Moon 🌝 spends almost as much time in the daytime sky as the night. It does not create its own light - the Sun’s light 🌞 reflects off its surface, which is why it’s visible! If it reflects enough sunlight to shine brightly against the blue daytime sky, you will be able to see it during the daytime! 🌕 It spends roughly half of each lunar month above the horizon during daylight hours.

Have you ever seen the Moon during the day? 🤔
