2nd Annual Physics OOOlympics!

We are starting our preparation for the final project this year for the 8th Grade, which is the Physics Olympics. This is a wonderful event just for science class that incorporates team work, the scientific method, engineering and critical thinking to solve real world problems in simple classroom events. This is an exciting time, but does require lots of creativity and work. Students have found the physics olympics to be challenging yet fun to accomplish. All rules and requirements for the project are posted to the right as a reference. Each period will compete against each other. All event rules have to be followed precisely, in the event a rule is broken the group event will be disqualified (disqualification does not effect the grade of the project but will affect the points their class will earn towards the competition). Grades will be given based on adequate completion of a research paper, following the scientific method through note-taking, and a presentation of their experiment through power point. Enjoy!
