Participants assessed on knowledge of anatomy and physiology of human integumentary, muscular, and skeletal systems

Participants use skills in scientific studies regarding disease, injury, health, and disability in populations.

Participants answer questions about ecology and adaptations in North American biomes.

Participants will identify insects by order and family and answer questions about insects.

Participants will answer questions, solve problems and analyze data pertaining to microbes.

Participants will demonstrate an understanding of Stellar Evolution: Star Formation & Exoplanet.

Participants will demonstrate an understanding of the processes involving the cryosphere of the Earth including glaciers and other ice formations and processes.

Participants identify and classify fossils and demonstrate their knowledge of ancient life.

Participants will demonstrate understanding in the construction and use of topographic maps, geologic maps, and cross sections, and their use in forming interpretations regarding subsurface structures and past depositional environments on Earth and other planetary bodies.

Participants will design, construct, and calibrate a single device capable of launching projectiles onto a target and collect data regarding device parameters and performance.

Participants will complete one or more tasks and answer a series of questions involving the science processes of chemistry focused in the areas of Periodicity and Equilibrium.

In this event, given a scenario and some 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.

In this event, participants will complete lab activities and answer a series of questions related to the materials science of ceramics with an emphasis on chemical and crystalline structure, and behavior.

Participants must participate in an activity involving positioning mirrors to direct a laser beam towards a target and are tested on their knowledge of geometric and physical optics.

Participants construct a blade assembly device prior to the tournament that is designed to capture wind power and complete a written test on the principles of alternative energy.

Participants will build and test a vehicle that can travel a given distance in the shortest amount of time while staying in a straight line.

Participants will construct, collect data on test flights, analyze and optimize a free flight rubber-powered helicopter to achieve maximum time aloft.

Participants design, build, program and test one Robotic Vehicle to navigate a track to reach a target at a set amount of time as accurately and efficiently as possible.

Participants will design and build a Tower (Structure) meeting requirements specified in these rules to achieve the highest structural efficiency.

Participants will design one elastic cord to conduct two separate drops at a given height(s) and attempt to get a drop mass, placed in a bottle, as close as possible to, but without touching, a landing surface.

Participants will design one elastic cord to conduct two separate drops at a given height(s) and attempt to get a drop mass, placed in a bottle, as close as possible to, but without touching, a landing surface.

Students will design an experiment that is simple in design and involves only one independent variable and one dependent variable. After this, multiple trials will be made and a report will be prepared within the event time period, which is about 50 minutes.

One team member writes detailed instructions on how to build a specific object without using any diagrams or drawings, and the other team member must then try to construct that object solely based on the written description, testing their ability to communicate precise instructions and follow them accurately.
