Geocache Description:


Science Club Cache
 
Do you love science? You’ll need to know something about science (or else be willing to do some research) in order to find this cache! In our English-language kids’ science club we have learned about atoms and molecules, acids and bases, electricity and how to make a battery from a lemon, light and vision, and now – how satellites work. And what better way to “experiment” with satellites than to grab a GPS and hide our own cache?
 
Finding this cache won’t be easy – you’ll need to correctly answer the following questions our science club members have written. Because our science club is in English, we’ve made the listing only in English, and we have increased the difficulty rating accordingly for this cache.
 
We are kids who appreciate a fun cache, so we’ve made sure to hide a box big enough for small tradable items and TBs. Please trade fairly to keep the cache fun for those who come after you. The cache contains a log book and a pencil, and small tradable items.
 
THE CACHE IS NOT LOCATED AT THE GIVEN COORDINATES! The given coordinates will lead you to the closest parking lot. The cache is located an enjoyable 20-minute hike from there. You do not need to leave the path until the last 3-5 meters. This cache is recommended for science lovers and kids, and especially for kids who love science!
