The 2008 Australian National Chemistry Quiz |
 |
|
|
||
will be held on Thursday 24 July 2008The Quiz will be run at your school and would be supervised by school staff and co-ordinated by a school Quiz co-ordinator who would be nominated by the school. The Quiz can be run at any convenient time during Thursday 24 July and our response from last year's Quiz indicated that both staff and students enjoyed their involvement. It will require a total time slot of 70-80 minutes. The Quiz will consist of 30 multiple choice questions and will run for 1 hour. The Quiz will run at two Junior Levels (Years 7 and 8, and Years 9 and 10) and at two Senior Levels (one paper for Year 11 and one paper for Year 12). The aims of the Quiz are clearly related to "Science for Everybody" which is a national aim for science education. This was one of the reasons for introducing a Junior Year 7 and 8 Quiz for the first time in 1989, and a separate Year 11 and 12 Senior paper in 1992.
The 2007 Quiz was conducted in all Australian States and Territories,
Papua New Guinea, Fiji, New Zealand, Western Samoa, Malaysia,
Singapore, Hong Kong, Vietnam, the Philippines, Indonesia, Sri Lanka,
Thailand, Brunei, India and for the first time entries were also received from England. 16,657 at the Junior 7 and 8 level To quote Professor Curtis, Past President of the Australian Academy of Science:
