Starting to Plan for the 2012 New Jersey Chemistry Olympics

It seems that we just held the 2011 New Jersey Chemistry Olympics , but last night was the first planning meeting for the 2012 event.  For the first time Natalie Macke will be coordinating the competition succeeding Borislaw Bilash.  This year I will am running the Information Search as I've done for many years.  In part one of the event students are judged on the accuracy of a model of a molecule.  This year students will bring in a model of a dye molecule.  Students will use the internet in part two to answer questions about dyes.

Information on the details of each event and instructions on how each high school can register will be issued after the first of the calendar year.  I observe that students have fun in participating in the various events.
