Compete to win the Australian Seismometers in Schools "Science Quake of the Year" cup!
We want all our schools to submit their best footquake to us. All you need to do is get together and jump your hearts out!
To compete, tell us:
- Date and time you jumped with a time zone please (so we can see your efforts!)
- The distance from the seismometer to the closest person
- How many jumpers participated
- Did you make it a school or class event?
- What was special about your jump
Because we know there will be lots of creative entries and because we want to encourage big and small schools to participate. Here are some examples of things we might judge the best quake on:
- Synchronisation of the jump
- Size of signal per person
- Length of signal
- Photos of participation (please make sure any photos can be shared and that students have permission to be in them)
- Community involvement
Entries close on the 18th of August at 8pm AEST, the last day of National Science Week. We will aim to announce the winners the following week.
The winners will receive the cup to display for a year and we will add the school's name to a plaque at the bottom of the cup for all to see in the future.
We're looking forward to your entries!
Seismology Webinar
To compliment this competition, we are offering a seismology webinar to all our schools. Our team will talk about earthquakes and provide an Ask A Seismologist Q & A. To sign up, just send us an expression of interest so we can coordinate a time.
