Mechanics:
 This contest is open for all local organizations and/or students in CTU-Barili who are
taking Education Program.
 This is a group competition which composed of 10 members. No maximum number
of groups per degree program. Only the members per team.
 Wear jogging pants and t-shirt or something that makes you comfortable.
 All the participants must assemble first at the covered court for the orientation.
 The contest has 12 challenge locations, called stations, scattered in different areas
around the campus. (The perimeter area is only within the administration building to
the HM building).
 From the starting point, the teams will look for any vacant station to complete the
challenge. Some station can cater more than one team. The rest of the team will look
for another station to complete the challenge. They can go back once the station is
vacant.
 At each station, there will be facilitators assigned to facilitate the challenges and clues
for that location. When the team arrives at the station, the facilitator will give the
team the written details on the challenge to be completed.
 Each challenge should be done properly. Once the team successfully completed the
challenge, they must answer the question before they can receive the ribbon of
accomplishment and proceed to the next station. The ribbon will be paste in the
bondpaper.

 If all the stations are completely done, the team will proceed to the front of the Admin
Building and the team will go to covered court by falling in line and hold their
forearms together.
 The team with the shortest total time and that has completed all the challenges will be
the winner.
Stations:
I. Will the paper fall like a stone?
Procedure:
1. Drop a sheet of paper to the floor from arm's height (it will slowly fall, moving from side to
side).
2. Drop a book separately (or beside the paper) to the floor from the same height (it will drop
like a stone).
3. Now place the sheet of paper on the book. Ask the students: "With the same gravity working
on the paper and the book, will the sheet of paper fall at the same rate as the book?"
(Anticipated answer: 'No').
4. Drop the book with the paper sheet on top of it (make sure that the paper's size is equal to or
smaller than the book).

II. The Straw


Procedure:
1. Cut small holes on one side of a straw, about 1 to 1.5 cm apart from each other.
2. Flatten one end of both straws and cut triangle pieces out.
3. Place this end of the straw with holes in the mouth, holding your lips just where the cut ends,
and blow until an oboe sound is produced. (Shifting the straw somewhat in or out of the
mouth might help obtain the sound.)
4. Place three fingers of the left hand on the farthest three holes and three fingers of the right
hand on the nearest three holes of the straw; and open or close holes for the different pitches.
5. Now blow the straw with no holes. Make the oboe sound, take the pair of scissors and cut
small pieces off the straw while blowing.

III. The Broken Pencil


Procedure:
1. Fill the beaker or jar about 2/3 full of water.
2. Take a pencil, pen or straw and immerse it vertically about halfway into the water and say to
the students: "I have now broken the pencil (pen or straw)."

3. Move the pencil back and forth along a vertical plane somewhat closer to the demonstrator
(see Sketch B) and parallel to the observer's eyes.

IV. The Stick Matches


Procedure:
1. Take two match sticks out of the box and hold one in each of your hands
2. Strike the one in your right hand against the box (if you are right-handed) to light the match.
3. Immediately hold the lit match head against the match head in your left hand and wait till
the left match gets lit.
4. As soon as the hissing sound of the ignition stops, blows out the flame. Make sure that you
are holding the two matches with a steady hand against each other (see Sketch above)
5. Slowly let go of the match in your right hand (without moving/jarring the match - if you
don't succeed the first time, try again!).

V. Pluck a Rubber Band


Procedure:
1. Place the rubber band between thumb and forefinger and stretch it a little.
2. Hold it close to your ear and pluck it with the other hand.
3. Stretch the rubber band by widening the gap between thumb and tore finger and pluck again.
What pitch do you hear now?

VI. The Balloon Electroscope


Procedure:
1. Blow two identical balloons up to about the same size and tie a thread to each of them.
2. Hold the two threads together and show that the balloons will hand against each other
(without an rubbing beforehand) (Sketch A).
3. Now let a student hold the threads, rub the balloons with the wool cloth, and let them hang
back (balloons will not touch: Sketch B).
4. Spray a mist of water against the balloons (they will fall back against each other like in
Sketch A)

VII. Why do we see two coins?


Procedure:
1. Fill the glass with about three quarters full of water.

2. Drop the coin in the glass and maneuver the glass till the coin sits in the middle of the
bottom.
3. Let the glass with the water and coin now stand still on a table and observe the surface of the
water from about a 15–20-degree angle.
4. Touch the far side of the glass with a dry finger: does anything happen to the image of the
coin?
5. Wet your finger, then touch the far side of the glass with the wet finger: what happens to the
image of the coin?

VIII. The Cups and the Balloon


Procedure:
1. Blow up the balloon with a one-third way.
2. Tell the students that you will hold the two cups against the sides of the balloon and blow it
further.
3. Hold one cup in each hand, hold the cups against the opposite sides of the balloon (while the
balloon is still in the mouth) and blow further (until about twice the size).
4. Let go of the two cups (they will stick to the balloon; if not, moisten the cup rims) and hold
the balloon in one hand by the mouth.
5. Show the students that the cups are not glued by the balloon by releasing the air slowly out
of the balloon (the cups will fall off as the balloon gets smaller).
