Los Angeles County Science Olympiad Official Events for 2009 DIVISION A (Elementary) EVENTS The events listed below are the events tentatively planned for the 2009 Elementary Science Olympiad. A complete description of each event is found in the Coaches Manual. Event rules will be clarified and/or adjusted to accommodate the schedule and local circumstances.

Most events are organized for two students from each school team to participate—you will select two students to represent your school in the event. You may not send more than one set of two students to participate in any given event (see exception and note below). Yes, this often means that some students may represent your team in only one or two events. Exception: Some events allow more students to represent your team. For 2009, this applies to the PastaMobile event, where up to four students may represent your team at the event. You may bring up to two PastaMobile devices to test in the competition. Event Times: All events will be completed in 30-minute time blocks. In all cases, the schedule will take precedence over the time suggested in the Coaches Manual.
