Today's post is about "Science Marathon"...!!! It's a competition but I prefer to call it a game. Because rather than just stuck with a bunch of questions, this game involves a lot of fun! I'm so eager to tell you the detail about this event *gasabar*
SMA Negeri 8 Jakarta presents a huge event this year in September. We call it "8Schoolastic" abbreviation for 8 School Art and Science National Competition. This 8Schoolastic or SCH (es-ce-ha) for short, consists of several branches of competition. And as the name's shown, they are classified into art or science competition.
Science marathon is one of its branch that belongs in the science group, as seen on its name. You don't have to be afraid if you can't run. Because it's fully science, regardless the "marathon" word. The game will be in teams. So, to join this game you have to submit your team to the committee. One team must consists 4 high school students from the same school.
This game has 3 parts.
1. The elimination round (babak penyisihan). In this round, the four members will be separated into 4 different classes. And every one of them will be given a problem set that differ in subject (the subjects are maths, physics, chemistry, and biology). For example team 1 consists of A, B, C, D. In the first round A will be doing the maths test, while B will do the physics, C will do the chemistry, and D will do the biology test. There will be 15 teams that pass this round. get it?
2. The Quiz round (babak cerdas cermat). In this round, all members are united together.They have to work together to defeat other teams in cerdas cermat round. In each round, 3 teams will be pitted. So, the total round is 5. Each team will choose 1 envelope consisting 10 compulsory questions. After that, the moderator will ask 15 questions and the team that rings the bell first deserve to answer the question. The first winner of each cerdas cermat round will proceed to the next round.
3. The Marathon round (babak marathon). Why this round called "marathon"? because, the finalists will be moving from one location to another to answer the questions. There'll be 5 different test locations. Different locations has different theme and the questions asked in each location will be coherent with it. Every team will get into those 5. And....the exciting thing is there will be a clue which leads to the next location. Every time they solve the mystery given in the clue, they'll be rewarded some points. And the committee will also record their time for solving questions in each location. Finally, the committee will rank every finalists based on their points.
