Science Quiz
- Each team will be represented by two participants. The questions will be selected from physics, chemistry and biology.
- All teams will write a preliminary qualifying written round conducted before the quiz. Marks of this round will not be added to the final tally. Those teams which qualify will participate in the final round.
- The final quiz will consist of oral questions and visual displays. Correct answers will fetch marks for the team. No marks will be deducted for incorrect answers or no responses.
- The questions will not be passed to the next team. At the end of each round, the marks and positions will be announced. Teams will be eliminated after the oral and visual rounds.
- The buzzer round will be the last round. Here, each question will be open to every team that qualifies. The team that presses the buzzer first will have the privilege to answer the question. A correct answer will fetch marks; marks will be deducted for an incorrect answer.

Famous quotes containing the word science:
“My position is a naturalistic one; I see philosophy not as an a priori propaedeutic or groundwork for science, but as continuous with science. I see philosophy and science as in the same boat—a boat which, to revert to Neurath’s figure as I so often do, we can rebuild only at sea while staying afloat in it. There is no external vantage point, no first philosophy.”
—Willard Van Orman Quine (b. 1908)
