Core Knowledge Events
Participants will be assessed on their knowledge about the anatomy and physiology for the nervous, special senses, and endocrine systems of the human body.
Teams will demonstarte an understanding of stellar evolution from formation to destruction.
Teams will crytanalyze and decode encrypted messages using cryptanalysis techniques for historical and modern advanced ciphers.
Teams answer questions, solve problems, and analyze data pertaining to classic, evolutionary, and molecular genetics.
Participants will use thier investigative skills in the scientific study of disease, injury, health, and disability in populations or groups of people.
Teams will complete tasks related to physical and geological oceanography.
Students will be asked to identify insects and selected immature insects by indicated taxonomy order and family, answr questions about insects, and use or construct a dichotomous key.
Participants will use remote imagery, data, and computational process skills to complete tasks related to climate change processe in the Earth system.
Teams will identify and classify rocks and minerals and demonstrate knowledge of how rocks and minerals help to understand geologic processes, interpretation of Earth's history, the development of natural resources,a dn use by society.
Build Events
Build Events
Teams will design and build a cantilevered beam or truss structure that extends from a vertical testing wall and supports a load at a specified distance from the testing wall. The structure must meet the requirements specified in the rules to achieve the highest score, which is a combination of strucural efficiency and load scored bonus.
Each team will design one elastic cord to conduct drops at a given height(s) and attempt to get a mass placed in a bottle as as possible to, but without touching, a landing surface.
Teams design, build, and test one vehicle that uses electrical energy as its sole means of propulsion to travel as quickly as possible and stop close to a target point.
Prior to the tournament, teams will construct, collect data on test flights, analyze and optimize free flight rubber-powered helicopters to achieve maximum time aloft.
Prior to the competition, participants will design, construct, and calibrate a self-propelled air-levitated vehicle that moves down a track.
Teams design, build, program, and test one Robot Vehicle to navigate a track to reach a target at a set amount of time as accurately and efficiently as possible.
Hands-On Events
Hands-On Events
Teams will complete one or more tasks and answer a series of questions involving the science processes of chemistry focused in the areas of chemical reactions/stoichiometry and kinetics.
Teams will read a set of engineering drawings and collaborate to CAD parts in Onshape and then incorporate these parts with provided components to create an assembly.
This event will determine the participant's ability to design, conduct, and report the findings of an experiment entirely on-site.
Given a scenario and possible suspects, students will perform a series of tests. These tests, along with other evidence or test results, will be used to solve a crime.
Teams will complete lab activities and answer a series of questions related to the materials science of nanomaterials with an emphasis on chemical, physical, optical, and mechanical properties of nanomaterials.
Hybrid Events
Hybrid Events
Participants must complete tasks and answer questions about electricity and magnetism.
Teams will complete a written test on simple and compound machine concepts and construct a lever-based measuring device prior tot he tournament to determine the mass ratios between three test masses
Participants will be assessed on their understanding and evaluation of freshwater aquatic environments.
