SHOCK VALUE 2012 Science Olympiad Coaches Clinic Indiana University Northwest James D. Wozniewski, presenter
DESCRIPTION A TEAM OF TWO (2) STUDENTS (GRADES 6-9) WILL COMPETE IN ACTIVITIES THAT INVOLVE BASIC UNDERSTANDING OF ELECTRICITY, MAGNETISM, AND SIMPLE ELECTRICAL DEVICES.
TERMS • BATTERY • CURRENT FLOW • ELECTRON FLOW • AND DIAGRAMS • SCHEMATICS
PARTICIPANTS ARE ALLOWED NOTES AND/OR CALCULATORS. NOTES WILL BE SECURED IN A 3 HOLE BINDER CALCULATORS WILL NOT HAVE ANY PROBES OR SENSORS ATTACHED TO THEM
EVENT SUPERVISORS PROVIDE ANY NEEDED MEASUREMENT EQUIPMENT
THE COMPETITION 50% HANDS ON 50% THEORETICAL SUPERVISORS TO PRESENT DATA MEASUREMENT EQUIPMENT OR PROVIDE A DEMONSTRATION WITH DATA IN TABULAR OR GRAPHIC FORMAT
SUPERVISOR MAY PROVIDE MATHEMATICAL RELATIONS, BUT STUDENT ARE EXPECTED TO NOTE THE FOLLOWING: • BASIC ELECTRICAL DC CIRCUIT THEORY CONSISTING OF • CONCEPTS OF VOLTAGE LEVELS • CURRENT FLOW AND DIRECTION • ELECTRICAL PATHWAYS • VOLTS, AMPERES, OHMS, SCHEMATICS • OHM’S LAW
BASIC ELECTRICAL DEVICE CONCEPTS • BATTERY POLARITY • PARALLEL VS SERIES CIRCUITS RESISTOR • LIGHT BULB AND MOTOR • DRY VS WET CELLS
BASIC ELECTRICAL CIRCUIT CONSTRUCTION AND ANALYSIS • SWITCHES • POWER SOURCE • VOLTMETER MEASUREMENTS • LIGHT BULB/MOTOR CONNECTIONS • KITCHEN BUILT BATTERIES
BASIC MAGNETISM CONCEPTS • NORTH AND SOUTH POLES • EARTH’S MAGNETIC FIELD • ELECTROMAGNET PRINCIPLES • MAGNETIC VS NONMAGNETIC MATERIALS • MAGNET SHAPES AND TYPES
BASIC MAGNETIC APPLICATIONS USE OF COMPASS TO DETERMINE POLES OF A MAGNET OPERATION OF AN ELECTROMAGNET USE OF MAGNETS IN MOTORS
TOPICS THAT MUST NOT BE INCLUDED • SEMICONDUCTORS • AC CIRCUIT THEORY AND DEVICES • CAPACITORS • INDUCTORS
EXAMPLES OF STATIONS SUPERVISOR PROVIDES THE FOLLOWING COMPONENTS: • WIRES • BATTERIES • LIGHT BULBS • RESISTORS PARTICIPANTS ARRANGE AND WIRE COMPONENTS IN SUCH A MANNER TO PRODUCE THE BRIGHTEST BURNING BULB
EXAMPLES OF QUESTIONS PARTICIPANTS WILL DRAW THE CIRCUIT DIAGRAM (SCHEMATIC) OF THE PREVIOUS EXERCISE • LABELS WILL INCLUDE THE FOLLOWING; • RESISTANCE • VOLTAGE & POLARITY • CURRENT FLOW • ELECTRON FLOW PARTICIPANTS WILL PROVIDE A WRITTEN DESCRIPTION AS TO WHY THIS IS THE OPTIMAL COMPONENT CONFIGURATION.
SCORING POINTS WILL BE AWARDED FOR CORRECT ANSWERS AND/OR PROPER TECHNIQUE TIES WILL BE BROKEN USING A DESIGNATED QUESTION OR TASK. THE TIE BREAKER WILL BE DESIGNATED ON THE ANSWER FORM
BLOCK DIAGRAM D C X2 X3 X1 B X5 X6 X4 A X9 X8 X7 X10
POSSIBLE QUESTIONS • REFER TO THE BLOCK DIAGRAM AND THE ABOVE TABLE: • WHAT DIRECTION (SCHEMATIC) IS THE CURRENT FLOW INDICATED BETWEEN POINTS C & D IF THE POSITIVE BATTERY POINT IS LOCATED TO THE LEFT? • C TOWARDS D OR D TOWARDS C

PLEASE HELP with my grand daughter's science fair project! She needs parents, teachers, and students to take her online quiz. PLEASE take the online quiz at https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/L77RJKX and ask everyone you know to take it, too?
