Super Quick Description of the events:

Practical Data Gathering: Teams were required to gather and process data to solve a given problem. Intermediate measurements and calculations may be required.
Physics Lab: Students will comptet in lab activities in the areas of thermodynamics and/or basic physical properties and materials.
Cell Biology: Contestants will rotate from station to station, integrating content knowledge and process skills in the areas of cell biology and biochemistry.
Experimental Design: This event will determine a team's ability to design, conduct and report the findings of an experiment actually conducted on site. Not conducting and experiment is a violation of the spirit of the event.
Science of Fitness: This event encompasees physicology of the cardiovascular, respiratory and urinary systems in health and disease.
Write it/Do it: Technical writing skills are an important part of and engineer's or a scientist's abilities to communicate precisely and clearly. This even will test a competitors's ability to effectively communicate with a calleague in writing by having their partner construct a device from this written description.
