BUFFALO, N.Y. — At Buffalo State College, the Science Olympiad got underway Saturday.
More than 400 students from local schools participated in the Lake Erie/Niagara Division C Regionals. The topics were interesting, and they also served as a way to take science out of the classroom and into fun events all day.
“They do anything from flying airplanes, shooting rockets, ping pong balls, trying to solve a who-dun-it in forensics, or do some chemistry labs, or even looks at rocks and minerals,” said Pat Ballow, a New York State Science Olympiad regional site coordinator.
There was also a disease detective activity where COVID was discussed.
Winners will go on to the state tournament at Le Moyne College in Syracuse.
