Science contests and competitions

While many science competitions are held in schools (sometimes through a selective or nominating process), there are also contests that students can enter independently, whether as individual competitors or as part of a team. Some of these contests offer prizes and awards for the students and the schools, as well as the chance to travel for national or international competitions.

Here are some of the photographs from the 2013, 2012, and 2011 Fairs taken by our photographer (and by some participants as well). For the historically-minded, here's a short photo essay using photographs taken nearly twenty years ago. Or watch the Awards Ceremonies again, just as they were then Webcast live from the Fair.

15 Awesome Chemistry Experiments

Below we explore our favorite 15 chemistry GIFs. Melting Metal With Magnets The Science: The copper wire has a significant amount of AC electricity running through it, causing it to act like a really strong electromagnet. In the metal slug, eddy currents form due to the magnetic field the copper wire is causing while the copper wire has high frequency AC flowing through it.

The metal slug’s electric resistance causes a portion of the electric energy to turn into heat, but the heat builds up until the metal slug becomes white hot and melts. Orange LED Light In Liquid Nitrogen The Science: When an LED is immersed in liquid nitrogen, the electrons lose a lot of thermal energy, even when the light isn’t turned on. Heating Mercury Thiocyanate The Science: It is an inorganic chemical compound, the salt of Hg2+ and the thiocyanate anion.
