Environmental Science merit badge

I ran an environmental science workshop for boy scouts in our troop. I planned to do this ins a few shorter sessions over multiple days. It was hard to find a date that all interested scouts could do so I finally settled on doing it in a long one day workshop. I found some ideas online for how to do this. I made sure to have everything very organized and ready, all experiment items in labeled bags, all timeline materials cut out, a schedule that needed to be followed and 3 pre-requisites the boys needed to bring on the day. I wasn't sure how well this would work but it went great! With a few minor exceptions the boys stayed on task and all earned the merit badge by the end of the day! I was very pleased, the day went much better than I had anticipated.
