CLASSES 课 程

Participants will be assessed on their understanding of the anatomy and physiology of the Nervous, Sense Organs, and Endocrine. More

Participants will use investigative skills in the scientific study of disease, injury, health, and disability in populations or groups of people. More

Students will be asked to identify insects and selected immature insects by order and family, answer questions about insects, and use or construct a dichotomous key. More

Teams will answer questions relating to genetics, molecular biology, and hereditary inheritance; solving problems and analyze data or diagrams using their knowledge of the basic principles of genetics. More

(Oceanography) Study of the Earth's oceans, focusing on the physical and geological features, including conservation of mass, energy, momentum and spin play; rocks and sediments on the ocean bottom. More

Study the scientific skills to understand the factors influencing climate and climate change through data analysis and interpretation. More

Participants will use remote sensing imagery, data and computational process skills to complete tasks related to climate changes in the Earth system. More

Teams identify rocks and minerals from the official list and answer questions about them. This competition is usually in a station format. Specimens may be physical or in the form of pictures. More

Given a scenario, a collection of evidence, and possible suspects, students will perform a series of tests. Test results along with other evidence will be used to solve a crime and answer questions. More

Study of circuitry, electricity, and magnetism. A laboratory event which deals with the various components and properties of direct current (DC) circuits. More

Design and build a self-propelled air-levitated vehicle that moves down a track. Teams calibrate their hovercraft to travel as closely as possible to a target time. More

Build and test portion involving the fundamental concepts of simple and compound machines, including the types of simple machines, their uses, input and output forces, mechanical advantage, etc. More

Design and build a boomilever (a structure meant to hang on a wall while supporting a heavy load underneath) to support the maximum amount of material (sand) before breaking. More

Prior to the tournament, teams will design, construct, and test free flights of rubber-powered helicopters to achieve maximum time aloft. More

Prior to the competition, competitors will design, build, test, and document a Rube-Goldberg-like device that completes a required task through an optional series of simple machines. More

Prior to the competition, competitors must design, build, and test one mechanical device that uses the energy from a falling mass to transport an egg along a track as quickly as possible and stop as close to the center of a Terminal Barrier without breaking the egg. More

Teams will cryptanalyze and decode encrypted messages using cryptanalysis techniques for historical and modern advanced ciphers. More

This event will determine a participant's ability to design, conduct, and report the findings of an experiment entirely on-site. More

Teams will estimate and then measure properties of identical objects including mass, area, volume, density, force, distance, time, and temperature. More

One student will write a description of an object and how to build it, and then the other student will attempt to construct the object from this description. More
