TRIATHLON
Description
Three physical skills are interspersed with science questions in an obstacle course that
will be run in relay race style.
Number of Participants: All 6 team members
Approximate Time: Dependent on team
The Competition:
1) Appropriate athletic wear is advised (running shoes, etc.).
2) The physical activity will include such events as: a dash, dribbling a basketball
between cones, a Frisbee accuracy throw, carrying a ball on a spoon, etc.
3) Two students will be placed at each position A, B, C.
4) Written General science questions will be answered by the students at tables A,B,C
where students stop between the physical events. Questions should be answered as
rapidly as possible to avoid a loss of time.
5) Each physical obstacle must be completed correctly before proceeding to the next
station. Students will be given ever-decreasing levels of difficulty in these physical
events so they are able to be successful.
Scoring:
1) The total team time to complete the event as well as the number of correct answers
will be taken into account.
Speed rankings will be converted into points. (Fastest team is team 1 and so
receives 1 point, team 2 gets 2 points, and so on).
The number of missed questions will be added to the team’s points. (If team 1
missed 5 questions, their score is now 6).
The team with the lowest score will be first place and the team with the highest score is
last place.
