On Saturday, May 30th, students from five HCPS elementary schools participated in the Black-Eyed Susan Science Olympiad, Division A, Tournament at John Carroll School in Bel Air. A total of twelve teams competed in this engaging and academically rigorous event for students in grades 3-6.
Science Olympiads is a nationwide competition comprised of 23 events that include earth science, biology, chemistry, physics, and engineering. Each team may consist of up to 20 members, with students typically participating in two to three events each. The competition includes three types of events; test completion, hands-on events, and station events. Teams earn points based on their performance in each event, with overall rankings determined by the cumulative score.
For the last several months, teams have been studying science content for each of the disciplines and developing their engineering skills to compete in hands-on events. They have improved teamwork, problem solving, and science knowledge on topics such as engineering, food science, meteorology, map reading, herpetology, ecology, and rocks and minerals.
HWES won first place overall!
Students finished 1st place in:
Circuits, Code Busters, Dynamic Planet, Ecosystems, Map Reading, Owl Pellets, Pentathlon, Rocks and Minerals, and Write it/Do it.
