Box Fan?

I supervised this event many years ago and I distinctly remember we needed to use a box fan. Recently at States and at an earlier Invitational the teams said they were not using box fans. We're going to Nationals, so can we expect the Supervisor to be using a box fan? That is what we are practicing ...

Re: Wind Power B/C

Hello, At a recent invitational, the event supervisor's test stand collapsed while my blade assembly device was being tested. As a result, my blade assembly device broke as the event supervisor's test stand broke. It was not my fault, and the event supervisor also claimed responsibility for the inc...

Re: Can't Judge A Powder B

We all know Crime Busters has a list of powders that can be used and I recommend all competitors play around with all of these along with water, NaOH & HCl to see what reactions they can find, but does anyone who has supervised this event have a list they use? Or is it just any of the Crime Bust...

Funny Awards

Hello Competitors! I am trying to get my hands on a copy of the "Funny SciOly Awards". They included things such as the Parasite Award (for those who let their partner do all the work, and other awards for things like Not studying at All (and yet medaling!), etc... If you have a copy, plea...

Mock Award List

Several years back, I came across a list of "mock" awards (e.g. - Parasite Award - for the student who did the least work in a team, etc...). We are looking to have a Summer Meet Up/Reunion and I would like to make up "mock" certificates for these "mock" awards and give...

Re: List more events

I’m in division B, and my SO coach mentioned you could do activities that aren’t on this list, like mystery architecture. I’m wondering if they are wrong, or if there are more events than listed on here? Look at the SciOly Manual. Sometimes there are events that are "offered" but that wil...

Re: Can't Judge A Powder B

I’m probably asking a pretty basic question, but could anyone point me to a list of typical observations that are important? For example, a list with all of the typical questions? I just want to prepare myself with the most typical things memorized before I dive into the less obvious properties. Lo...
