GENERAL INFORMATION

Science week is an annual event held by The Science Department of Kesatuan Bangsa
School. The aim of this event is to give students a chance to develop their soft skills, including
communication, collaboration, creativity, and critical thinking skills, especially in the field of
science.
Science week 2022 will be held on 24-29th of January 2022 for Kesatuan Bangsa
students and the public. There are several activities during the events, such as fun science fair,
competitions for students, and webinar. In the science fair, students will have to present their
project about chemistry, biology, and physics. The competitions are conducted both online and
offline so that every student has the same opportunity to join as the school is still applying hybrid
learning. The webinar will be opened for the public. The speakers are Dinas Pendidikan Bantul
and science lecturer from FMIPA UNY with a theme of science research.

- A map with science-related questions will be shared to all participants.
- The answer to each question will be a number. Those numbers represent how many
steps you have to go.
- Be the fastest to find the treasure box and win the prize.
- Hunting day: Monday, 24th January 2022 1.00-3.00 PM.

2. Blooket Competition

4. Stick Bridge Competition

- A class competition for SMP and SMA.
- Work together to build your strongest bridge made of popsicle sticks and glue.The
bridge should resemble a real bridge, using the concepts used in making them.
e.g. Holes in a bridge to let crosswind through.
- Each bridge would be tested on its strength, how much weight it can hold.
- Bridges would be tested by holding weight hung from the midpoint of the Bridge.
- Strength testing day: Thursday, 27th of January 2022
- Further details and rules regarding bridge construction parameters and limitations
o Bridges must only be built using popsicle sticks and glue. Addition of extra
materials would result in instant disqualification.
o Bridges must be more than 40 cm long but mustn't exceed 80 cm long.
o Bridges must have a width of at least 10 cm.
o Bridges must have a height of at least 5 cm.
