Area high schools are invited to send teams to the 28th
Annual Science Bowl at UT Martin and can register for the Nov. 10 event
by email or phone. The registration deadline is Oct. 26. The rules for Science
Bowl can be accessed on the web at
http://www.utm.edu/staff/skairee/saacs/scibowlrules.html
In conjunction with the Science Bowl, the Kentucky Lake
Section of the American Chemical Society will offer a free workshop on Safety
in the Chemistry Workplace on Nov. 10 at the University of Tennessee at
Martin.
Participants in the workshop will be made aware of hazards
which may have been overlooked and of the resources and options available
to remedy those hazards. This workshop is intended to create a better, safer
place for students to learn. Topics will include personal protective equipment,
waste management, proper storage of hazardous materials, etc.
This workshop is sponsored by the Kentucky Lake Section
of the ACS with support from an Innovative Projects Grant from the ACS.
Literature and other mementos will be provided free for participants. Mileage
will be partially reimbursed and a certificate of participation will be
presented to each attendee.
The science bowl is sponsored by the UT Martin Student
Affiliates of the American Chemical Society. For the written test covering
biology, chemistry and general science, there is no limit on the number
of students each school may enter. Each test will have 25 questions from
each of the three categories.
From the written test, eight schools will be chosen for
the afternoon bowl competition based on comparing the average total score
of two of each school's highest scoring students. The rules are similar
to the former TV show, "The G.E. College Bowl." The prizes will
include trophies for champion and runner-up schools, gold, silver and bronze
medallions for all team members. All schools will be provided Chem Time
Clocks on which the element symbols replace the usual 24 numbers for military
time and each students will get a wallet card and a drink cup featuring
periodic table.
For registration or information, email skairee@utm.edu
or call 731-881-7450/7454.

This year instead of playing all the bowl games in the afternoon, we
will start the games around 11 AM so that the four games would have been
played by lunch time. After lunch the final three games will be played and
everybody can go home before 3 PM. Instead of starting at 9 AM, we would
start at 8:30. The program looks like below:
8:30 - 10.00 Written Test for students (EPS 219, 202 & 207)
Refreshments & Green Chemistry Presentation for teachers (EPS 227)
Drawing to match schools for the bowl games (A vs B, C vs D, etc)
10:00 10:15 Group pictures
10:20 11:00 Demonstration (EPS 204)
11:15 12 noon Bowl Games in UC (ballroom & UC 230)
Lunch Break
1:00 - ~2:15 Finals & Awards
Four top scoring students and teachers from all schools would
get souvenir Science Bowl T-shirts. Champions/first runner-up teams get
the trophies for the schools and gold medallions for team members. Second
runner-up team members get bronze medallions. Top scoring students from
each school and overall scores will be listed on the Science Bowl web page.
The highest (overall) scoring student will receive CRC Handbook of Chemistry
and Physics.
Please let me know any comments that you may have. If 8:30 is too
early, we can start the written test a bit late for your school. All schools
need to have at least 4 students for playing the bowl games as per rules
listed on the web at
http://www.utm.edu/staff/skairee/saacs/scibowlrules.html
Four to five students (from West Tennessee region for Kentucky Lake
Section of the American Chemical Society) scoring high on the chemistry
portion of the written test will be invited to participate in the national
examination (to be administered in Martin either April 27 or April 30) for
selection to the International Chemistry Olympiad (to be held in Moscow
on July 15)
NOTE: Attention was given to changing the date but facilities availability
and schedule conflicts forced us to stick with the March 3 date. In future
we may come back to scheduling on the second Saturday in November.
