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.

Students must write the first four letters of their school name on the answer sheet.

All answers must be written clearly on the answer sheet. This includes units when appropriate. Questions will be marked wrong if students do not include units when appropriate.

When teams have the final answer, they will write it down on the answer sheet and hand it to their adult proctor. The proctor will hold it up, and a runner will take it to the judges table.

Students will have the entire five minutes to complete the task. Points will be awarded based on a rubric (scored by judges)

Proctors will have a folder with detailed directions to follow.

Scoring will vary depending on the task, but will be explained within the task.

There are 10 questions.

After the first five questions, there is a break. During the break the alternate will switch places with one member of the team.

During competition, students may not talk with anyone other than their own teammates.

While solving problems, students should keep their voices low so that other teams do not pick up any “free answers.”

After solving a problem, students should sit quietly until the next question is presented.

Points can be taken away from teams not following the STEM Bowl Rules.

Alternates proceed to your designated viewing area. Proctors, please go to your designated school.

Out of courtesy for the school teams, please limit conversations and movement

Turn cell phones to silent

In order to maintain student motivation, no answers will be given during the competition

Answers will be sent to the schools within a week of the competition

A. You are an architect and you were given the challenge to design a rectangular park that has an area of 24 square yards. The customer wants four options with different perimeters to choose from. Find the length and width of four rectangles that have different perimeters and record in the table below.

Park with an area of 24 sq. yards Length Width PerimeterPark A Park B Park C Park D

B. The customer has 25 yards of fencing. What is the largest park (A, B, C, or D) for which he can use the fencing?

C. Can they build a square park with the area of 24 square yards where all lengths are whole numbers?

D. Explain.


You have been charged with laying tile for a new office building. The customer wants to see a scaled down model of the floor before he commits to the project. •The area of the floor is 16 sq. feet. •The perimeter is 20 feet. •The customer wants to use three different color tiles in the design.•1/4 of the floor will be the same color. •1/8 of the floor will be a different color.•The rest of the floor will be the third color.

Your task is to sketch the new tile floor, using graph paper and crayons.

1 square= 1 sq. foot Write your team name on the graph paper and pass it to your proctor.

During this time, one student from each team should proceed to the viewing area, while the other student takes his/her place.

Lisa needs to do her homework using a table of numbers and their sums and differences. Unfortunately, she got caught in the rain and some of the numbers were washed away. Help Lisa recreate the table.

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.

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.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?

B.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?

C.Patrick’s sister weighs half as much as Patrick. If she were to get on the scale with the cat, what would the scale say?
