High School Chemistry
Olympics
Once each year some
three hundred regional high school students come to the Chemistry Department
for a one-day chemistry competition. The students (in teams of
three) perform various experiments, report results and answer questions
on topics found in general and organic chemistry. The reports
are graded and the teams are ranked based on their performance.
The top three teams in the various categories of first-year chemistry,
second-year chemisty and organic chemistry receive medals and cash awards.
