On March 1st, over 140 students competed in North Babylon High Schools’ 24th Annual Science Olympiad. Teams competed in the following event; “Chemistry Hunt”, “Metric Estimation”, “That Sinking Feeling”, “Map Reading Road Rally”, “Mystery Construction”, “Biology,Biology, Biology”, “Airplanes, Airplanes, Airplanes”, and every student's favorite, “The Egg Drop”.
Freshmen Tiffany T. and Madeline D. felt that “this was the best competition, because they had to build a device to catch a egg launched from the roof of the building”.

It was a terrific day!
