Description
‘ “Somebody help! Something happened in the lab!” You and your peers go rushing into the science lab…or the kitchen…or the tent. OMG! How could this have…but wait, over there, is that a….’ And so begins your radio drama. In this challenge, it is your task to both set up the problem AND to solve it. What really happened in the lab? Did something go missing? Did something happen to one of the lab techs? And who is going to solve it? A detective? A student? A passerby? When you solve it, be sure to explain how. Was there any documentation of what went on? What evidence did you use to figure out what happened? The solution must involve either 2-3 well-explained chemical reactions of some sort, or it must involve 2-3 physical forces (e.g. gravity, electric, magnetic) OR, it can involve both. Your team will explain the mystery and your solution in a 3-5 minute podcast, which begins with the problem, sets up the mystery of how the problem occurred, and then tells the story of how the problem was solved.
