Guidelines and Mechanics for the 4th Division Scilympics

The Scilympics aims to enhance minds-on, hands-on, and hearts-on science learning
among elementary and secondary learners. This science activity is composed of four (4) phases:
Phase 1 - Science Fair (Science Investigatory Project);
Phase 2 - Mega Quiz;
Phase 3 - Create, Show, & Tell; and
Phase 4 - Science Expo.

The participants to the different phases of the Scilympics are bona fide pupils and students
of both public and private schools they represent for SY 2016 2017. To maximize the
participation of learners, they are only allowed to join one contest or event for the Division
Scilympics. Coaches and advisers should be the subject teacher/s of the contestants.

The Phases of Scilympics

Phase 1 - Science Fair (Science Investigatory Project). The Science Fair is a
nationwide research competition that aims to promote S & T culture and consciousness among
science learners. Moreover, it intends to identify the most creative and the best Science student
researchers who will represent the division in the Regional Science & Technology Fair 2016-2017.
As such, research plan and scientific research paper must follow the format based on ISEF Rules.

The softcopies of the International Rules for Pre-college Science Research: Guidelines
for Science and Engineering Fair 2016-2017 and required forms are available at
<http://www.societyforscience.org/isef/rulesandguidelines> for guidance.

Phase 2 - Mega Quiz. The Mega Quiz is a content based academic quiz competition
that is open to all bona fide elementary (Grade 4 - Grade 6) and high school (Grade 7 - Grade 11)
learners. This is an Individual and Team Competition which aims to enhance development of
critical science thinking skills.

The coverage of the quiz is based on the DepED Science Curriculum Guide. It shall
include the following: Content, Content Standards and Learning Competencies of the 1st and 2nd
Quarter, NAT Least Learned Skills and Science Updates.

Phase 3 - Create, Show, & Tell. The Create, Show, & Tell is a practical and experiential
contest that is open to all bona fide elementary (Grade 3 Grade 6) and high school (Grade 7 -
Grade 10) learners. This is a Team Competition composed of four (4) members coming from each
grade level. The participating teams will compete in 'events' pertaining to
various scientific disciplines, including earth science, biology, chemistry, physics, and
engineering. These events will give them opportunities to design something out of the given
materials and justify the created product afterwards.

Phase 4 - Science Expo. The Science Expo is a hands on and evidence based event
that will showcase the learners scientific and technological skills based on the Science
Curriculum Performance Standards. This is open to all bona fide elementary (Grade 3 Grade 6)
and high school (Grade 7 - Grade 10) learners. This is a Team Competition composed of four (4)
members, each grade level will have a separate category in this event

A set of standards-based challenges will be given to the competing teams to perform or

to produce. At the end of the allotted time, the contestants should present and explain their output
to the Board of Judges. For every challenge, each team will be evaluated according to their
Scientific Exhibition and Exposition of the expected performance or product.

The Competition Levels & Point System

There will be two levels of competitions in every Phase of the Scilympics, namely, School
Level and Division Level. Winners in the School level advance to the Division and Division winners
to higher level competitions. For Elementary schools, there will be a District Level before the
Division Level.

The equivalent points garnered by the schools in the four phases (Science Fair (SIP),
Mega Quiz, Create, Show & Tell, and Science Expo) of the Scilympics will be added to determine
the overall ranking, where Top 5 Districts/ Schools (Champion, 1st, 2nd, 3rd, & 4th runners-up) will
be taken. The following point system will be used to determine the ranking of the participants in
the phases of the Scilympics:
Rank 1 6 points
Rank 2 5 points
Rank 3 4 points
Rank 4 3 points
Rank 5 2 points
Finalists 2 points
Semi Finalists 1 point
All non-winning participants - 0.5 point

The Awards
In every Phase and Level of the Scilympics, corresponding winners will be announced and
be given certificate of recognition. However, the Overall Champion will be declared after all the
points of the official participants from the different phases of the Division Scilympics are given
equivalent scores and added up. The school which garnered the highest points in the Division
Scilympics will be declared as the Overall Champion. The First Fourth Runner Up will also be
determined based on the overall ranking results.

The Division Scilympics perpetual trophy will be awarded to the overall Champion and will
remain in the winners possession as long as no new winner will be declared. As soon as the new
champion will be declared in the next school year, the same trophy will be awarded to the new
winner. The winning school could only be awarded the same kind of trophy if it is declared as
Scilympics Champion for three consecutive years. The First to Fourth placers will be given
Certificates of Recognition.
