General Mechanics
1. The participants shall be divided into nine teams, with four to five members per
teams.
2. Each team shall undergo a series of sports activities related to Newton's Laws of
Motion. There shall be ten stations comprising the entire event, with nine different
challenges to complete for every team.
3. Aside from the physical challenges to complete, a "brain buster" question related
to the scientific concepts presented shall be introduced before the Olympics
proper. In order to find the answer to this certain question, they must unscramble
the first letters of their answers from each of the stations (to be discussed
further). To keep track of their answers, a worksheet shall be provided.
4. Each of the stations shall feature a simple riddle at the end of the activity. They
must take note of their answers to these riddles because the first letters of these
riddles will be unscrambled to find the answer to the brain buster question.
5. Each team shall be given five minutes to complete every station. The breakdown
is as follows: one minute for the orientation and explanation of physics concepts,
three minutes for the activity proper, and one minute for the riddle.
6. After five minutes in a particular station, all teams shall rotate and move on to the
next part of their challenge.
7. Teams that will be able to answer the "brain buster" question accurately shall be
given additional incentives which are additional 100 points.
8. Each station shall follow a point system structured around rubrics/criteria

depending on the nature of the activity. Points may be gained in every station by
accomplishing each activity successfully.
9. The station leaders shall have with them a scoresheet to monitor the
performance of every group.
10. Once all stations have been completed by all teams, the number of points per
group shall be tallied by the station leaders in order to determine the winners.
11. Special awards shall be given to the following participants (to be judged by the
leaders per station):

fixed distance of four meters away from the
basket. A line/barrier will be drawn in order to
determine the starting point.
3. The participant must use the water spray bottle to
shoot the balloon in the basket without letting the
balloon touch the ground.
4. If the balloon touches the ground, the participant
must repeat from the starting point.
5. Each balloon shot corresponds to ten points.

seven feet away from the bucket. A line/barrier will
be drawn in order to determine the permitted area.
3. The participant must bounce the ping pong ball on
the wall in order to shoot it in the bucket or basket.
The participant cannot directly shoot the ping
pong ball inside the basket or bucket as it
eliminates the challenge of the activity.
