STEM Bowl Rules

• Each team will have one sponsor designated to be
  a proctor. This person will sit with the
  pre-determined school. The proctor may not know
  anyone on the team.
• The adult proctor will set the question on the
  table for teams to solve when time is started.
  The question will also be projected onto a
  screen.
• Students will have five minutes to solve each
  problem. The only exception is for the design
  tasks in which time will vary depending on the
  task.

Your Design Challenge
You have 15 minutes to build the tallest
structure. You are provided with 20 sticks of
spaghetti, one yard of tape, one yard of string,
and one marshmallow. Your structure will be
measured by the distance from the table top to
the marshmallow. You must use the whole
marshmallow at the top of your structure. You
have one tester marshmallow to use along the way.

Scoring

• Once the 15 minutes is over or your team feels
  you are ready to test, the proctor will observe
  you while you place the marshmallow on the top,
  and measure your structure. Follow the procedure
  below.
• One person holds the measuring tape.
• Another person places the marshmallow on top
  while the proctor starts the time. Your
  structure must remain standing, with the
  marshmallow on top for 10 seconds.
• While the timer is going, measure the height to
  the nearest inch.
• Your team will receive 1 point for every inch of
  height your structure measures.

• It is very difficult to get animals to stand on a
  scale to get their weight. It is, however,
  important that a veterinarian knows the weight of
  each animal in order to provide the proper amount
  of medication.
• A 6 foot 2 inch tall veterinarian who weighs 185
  pounds gets on a scale holding a large cat. The
  scale reads 201 pounds. How much does the cat
  weigh?
• Patrick owns the cat whose weight you found in
  question A. Patrick is 4 feet 3 inches tall and
  weighs 70 pounds. If he were to get on his scale
  at home with the cat, what would the weight be?
