HCC Science Olympiad : Experimental Design LAB

This is a LAB event. Students are given a set of materials and a scientific topic to design, execute, and write a lab report showing their claim, evidence, and findings of a scientific experiment. Up to 3 people per team. 

Laboratory/Hands-On Event: An event where participants are given a general topic in which they will be expected to deepen their content knowledge of the topic and associated research techniques prior to the tournament. At the tournament they will be assessed by the  completion of a hands-on task, which may or may not require a written report, within a defined timeframe. Depending upon the format of Science Olympiad Tournament being held, there may be some alterations to or cancelation of Lab Events. To the greatest extent possible, Tournament Directors will work to ensure Lab Events are conducted; though, that may mean in some cases participants will be working with previously collected data and hands-on activities will be omitted.

Experimental Design is in the Inquiry & Nature of Science category.
