Official Rules

1.  The competition is limited to twelve teams of two students each, one team per school. Pre-registration is required.

2.  Each team will be given six numbered dropper bottles, each containing an aqueous solution of an ionic compound, an acid, a base, or distilled water, and a list of the six compounds. Solutions, once used up, will not be replenished. Each team will also be supplied with pH paper, a squeeze bottle of distilled water, and a spot plate (a team may choose to use test tubes, which will also be available). The object of the contest is to identify the contents of each of the six dropper bottles in the shortest time.

Teams are required to bring their own safety glasses, which must be worn during the competition, but may bring no additional equipment or chemicals. Teams should also bring any references (texts, handbooks, solubility charts, etc.) they need. None will be supplied at the contest site.

Possible compounds are: the nitrate salts of aluminum, silver, barium, lead(II), iron(III), and zinc; the chloride salts of ammonium, barium, potassium, and sodium; sodium carbonate; sodium sulfate; ammonium, potassium, and sodium hydroxide; hydrochloric, nitric, and sulfuric acids; and distilled water.

Orientation and set-up will begin at 9:45 a.m. and the timed competition begins promptly at 10:00 a.m. The maximum time allowed will be 60 minutes.

Each team's score will be the number of minutes required to complete the identification plus a penalty for each incorrectly identified dropper bottle. Time begins at 10:00 a.m. and ends when the team's answer sheet is received by the judge. As in golf, the lowest score wins.

Teams may not receive help from the judge, fellow students, teachers, etc. Violators will be disqualified.

Instructions for disposal of chemicals will be provided. Once a team has turned in its answer sheet, it must then dispose of wastes properly and clean up its work area for the entry to qualify.

    Teaching

    11:30 - 1:00

    Family Resource Center 117

    Some say teachers are born, not made. However, most people agree that good teachers have some basic qualities that are developed through experiences, education, and practice. These qualities include organization, knowledge of subject, ability to communicate to a variety of audiences, poise, enthusiasm, and creativity. This fun activity will allow you, as the 'teacher', to demonstrate some of these qualities while teaching a lesson to the other student participants.

    Activity Information

    1.
    Participants should plan to teach a short lesson on something that is particularly interesting, exciting, or informative to them. Examples might be:

    •  How to properly swing a tennis racket.
    •  How to throw a ball.
    •  How to do a gymnastics move.
    •  How to do a particular dance step.
    •  How to sing a song in a foreign language.
    •  Informational presentation (Example: basic horse safety, a cultural aspect of a group or nation, the three brances of government in the US, a mini-science project.

    2. Since you choose in advance what you will be teaching, there should be some preparation done prior to the day of the skills contest.
    3. This 'tiny teach' should take about 5 minutes.
    4. The lesson should include the use of at least one visual teaching aid.
    5. Plan for some type of audience participation in your lesson.
    6. The audience will be the other participants. They will be expected to assume the role of learners and to be engaged in the 'lesson'.

    Judging Criteria

    Judging will be based on a scale of 1-4 for each of the following categories:

    • Organization
    • Knowledge of subject
    • Clarity/communication
    • Poise/Enthusiasm
    • Creativity
    • Effective use of visual teaching aid

    Faculty from the CCC Education and Human Services Department will judge each of the presentations.

    Awards

    • Individual Tuition Waivers Awarded: First, Second, Third
    • All students will receive a 'gift' commemorating their participation.

    This contest will consist of the problem stated below. Bridges may be constructed prior to the day of the contest. Supplies will be provided for last-minute repairs or modifications. This will be a continuously running contest. Results will be available on the day of the contest. Winning students must be present at 11:00 AM to collect prizes.

    Problem:Design and build the lightest bridge that can support the greatest load over a 30 cm span

  • The bridge can weigh no more than 50 grams.
  • Any kind of non-laminated wood (i.e., no plywood) may be used that is 1/4 inch or less in width or depth.
  • Any commonly available glue may be used.
  • Do not impregnate the bridge with glue.
  • Glue must be confined to points of contact between pieces of wood.
  • Do not paint or stain the bridge.
  • Pieces may not be laminated together.
  • The length of the bridge must be a minimum of 35 cm and a maximum of 41 cm.
  • There must be a level area, 5.0 x 5.0 cm, at the center of the bridge, within 5 cm of the bottom. This will be where the loading block is placed for testing.
  • The bridge test supports will be 30 cm apart.
  • The bridge may not extend below the level of the supports.
  • The bridge's score will be determined by dividing the maximum load supported (in pounds) by the mass of the bridge (in grams). The testing device is a hydraulic press, and the measuring device is a scale with a 300-lb capacity. The maximum reading from the scale will be noted and the score will be calculated and ranked by a spreadsheet program which will be displayed during the contest.

    No formal scholarships will be given for this contest

    Prizes will be awarded to - First, Second, Third

    Leadership

    This competition will be between teams of no fewer than four and no more than eight participants each. The task is to assemble, in the shortest time possible, a Lego figure that looks exactly like a model figure placed in the center of the room. Each team may spend as much time as it wishes planning to assemble the figure & working together in whatever way it thinks will be most helpful in preparing to assemble and assembling the pieces. The time begins when the team indicates it is ready to begin assembly. Success will depend largely on the team's leadership and the extent to which it can function effectively as a group.

    Note: Only one team per school may enter the competition.

    9:00 - 11:00

    Community Center

    Fireside Room

    Contest Rules:

    1. At the beginning of the competition, the Lego blocks needed to complete the assembly will be distributed among the team members. Until the timed assembly period begins, the pieces must stay in front of the team member to whom they are given and they may not be exchanged, nor lined up in an orderly manner, nor fitted together in any way.

    2. Only one person at a time may leave the team's work table to look at the model. The model may not be handled in any way, nor can the Lego pieces from the work table be taken from the work table at any time.

    3. Time begins when the team indicates it is ready to begin. Each team will be observed by a timer/observer. When assembly is complete, timing stops and the assembled Lego figure is taken to the judge, who will check the figure for accuracy of assembly. If the judge finds an error, he or she will inform the team that the assembly is not correct, but will not indicate what the error is. When the incorrectly assembled Lego figure is returned to the team's work table, timing resumes until the team completes reassembly and the judging process is repeated.

    4. The winning team is the one which has correctly assembled the figure in the shortest time.

    5. Any rule violations noted by the observer will disqualify the team's entry. (Observers will try to prevent inadvertent rule violations, but are not responsible to do so.)

    No formal scholarship will be given for this contest.
    Team prizes will be given for - First, Second, Third.
