The Science Olympics

TCIS students competed recently in the Science Olympics at GSIS in Suwon.
Students from Grades 6-8 competed against students from other schools in teams to solve scientific problems.
Mrs Gobius has been working with these students in the lead up to fine tune their skills and work on their problem solving in science.
Our students finished the day with the overall GOLD medal.
Congratulations TCIS Science Olympics students!



Written by Chris Jang...
It was the second time I have been to the Science Olympics. I actually quite enjoyed going to GSIS. During our classes at school, we created a Rube Goldberg machine in preparation for one of the parts of the Science Olympics.
The Olympiad was divided into 4 parts:

  1. Making a catapult.
  2. Reflecting light.
  3. Rube Goldberg Machine.
  4. Creating your won experiment.
I think the main goal of the Olympics was to use your scientific knowledge to reach the goal for each part.
The best part was that our school won first place!
