North Carolina Science Olympiad

This memo evaluates the quality of instructions to build an Alcohol Bottle Rocket, using terms, ideas, and concepts from our English book.

The first time I ventured into the club’s disheveled basement, I did not know what to expect. Upon my entrance, I immediately got thrown onto a team of strangers and told the basics of rocketry. While overwhelmed at first, I slowly got accustomed to using power tools, recording flight data, and collaborating with my team. By the end of my first year, my small team of three people qualified for the national Team America Rocketry Challenge competition in Washington DC, where we placed 32nd out of more

The main idea of competition is to make you want to pushes your self higher to beat a certain person. think about it, if it were not for the competition between Disney and Pixar, we would not have those great family movies we all enjoy watching together. Ever since I remember I have competed verses a certain boy to see who would get better grades. The constant competition always kept me at my toes ready to push myself pass the limits.

Science Olympiad has several goals. One of their goals is “increasing male, female and minority interest in science” (Science Olympiad). It is important for the less fortunate to be successful. Another goal they have is “providing recognition for outstanding achievement by both students and teachers” (Science Olympiad). The last goal of the organization is “creating a technologically-literate workforce” (Science Olympiad).

Our group of four students was divided into teams of two. Team one was Corbin Snow and Richard Reed. Their rocket design consisted of the full straw with two of their tail wings mimicking arrow fletching and one small tail rudder to create stability in the flight path. With there being three wings at the tail of the rocket we chose to attach to them in the most natural way, which is 120 degrees apart. They also plugged the front end of the straw with modeling clay, and formed the clay to a point, because that needed done in order for the rocket to be launch by compressed air. They also added additional clay to parts of the rocket to move the center of mass to just behind the middle of the rocket to provide a better flight path. Team

There is always some sort of type of math that will be involved in everyday jobs you could be a fisherman, you could be a garbage man. Everything in the world that requires work requires math even if it may be a garbage man, math is in all sorts of forms. Math will even be used in my job that I wish to peruse, I would like to be a wildlife conservation officer. Game Wardens work for state and local governments, They are enforced to protect wildlife for example fish. Game Wardens also carry guns so they can protect themselves if they are in risky situation.(they are also used to be recognized and a peace keeper.) Game Warden’s only need to acquire an associate's degree, which only requires a 2 year college.

Some people don’t realize how important mathematics can be in life. You will need mathematics for a lot of things. When you go to college, a lot of the courses require mathematics. Yes, it can be hard but it is worth it. Sometimes you have to push through the hard things and make it through life.

The north studio has been working on rocket science. We were given instruction to conduct two experiments of our own design. For example, my first one was to test how far a balloon rocket can go based upon the amount of air inside the balloon. Both times I tested it, the rocket malfunctioned. My second experiment with a water bottle rocket is about how far a water bottle rocket can go based upon the number of fins (specifically the difference between 3 and 4 fins) on the rocket and how that affects the aerodynamics of my rocket.

Kiran Manglani, a second year Education student at the University of St. Martin, in her essay “Academic Competition,” reviews how students can benefit from academic competition. The author examines how competition is daily exercise that is a necessity throughout life and how empowering student to be competitors helps them to boost self confidence. Kiran states that students become better achievers in school when they compete. Competing also encourages the development of the student’s learning and helps them to gain self confidence from competing in competitions.

Disease Detectives, Astronomy, Hovercraft, and Mousetrap Vehicle are just a few of the many events you’d see while skimming the schedule for this year’s Science Olympiad competition. Ranging from tests to builds, the events tested students’ abilities in various scientific disciplines in a fun and competitive environment. This year, the regional competition took place at Modesto Junior College, where high schools and junior high/ middle schools from across the region gathered for the all day event.

I learned about RSI through the Science Olympiad forums. I had just returned from a ten-day research trip in Costa Rica, and was looking for a longer summer research program. A Science Olympiad alumni and former Rickoid recommended RSI, describing it as the best six weeks of his life. What he described was exactly what I was looking for: an opportunity to experience the entire research process with others who loved science as much as I do.

In 2015, I was nominated to participate in the eleventh and twelfth grade Science Olympiad and won first place over-all against sixty-four teams. I competed in the Science Olympiad regional competition. The competition focused on physical science, the nature of science, Earth science, and space science. in 2013, I also was recognized with an award in biology for biology and environmental science. Being a part in these opportunities strengthened my passion for

Sadly, I have become accustomed to these responses. Mathematics can be related to almost anything in the world. Although I have completed all the available math classes at my school, I still have a thirst for more math-related

Math can give us a headstart in many jobs around the world, not only if someone seeks to be a math teacher, which is great, but math can give people a head start if they want to be a game designer, an engineer, or even a professional photographer (Dreambox Learning). Another example of a job that requires math is an accountant. The work of an accountant definitely requires math, accountants examine financial records making sure

Mathematics is the one of the most important subjects in our daily life and in most human activities the knowledge of mathematics is important. In the rapidly changing world and in the era of technology, mathematics plays an essential role. To understand the mechanized world and match with the newly developing information technology knowledge in mathematics is vital. Mathematics is the mother of all sciences. Without the knowledge of mathematics, nothing is possible in the world. The world cannot progress without mathematics. Mathematics fulfills most of the human needs related to diverse aspects of everyday life. Mathematics has been accepted as significant element of formal education from ancient period to the present day. Mathematics has a very important role in the classroom not only because of the relevance of the syllabus material, but because of the reasoning processes the student can develop.
