Ready to impress the judges?
Engineering in Nature: Forces in Action isn’t about pretty pictures. We want students who spot physics in the wild and explain it clearly. Here’s how to stand out:
How We Judge Your Entry:
1. Relevance to Theme (20%)
Show
both engineering and forces in nature. Spider webs use tension. Honeycombs show compression. Tree roots fight gravity on slopes. Ask: “Does this prove nature is an engineer?”
2. Scientific Understanding (25%)
Don’t just name the force — explain it. For a bird’s nest, describe how woven twigs create friction against wind and gravity. For a leaf with water, explain surface tension. Show us the
how.
3. Originality & Creativity (20%)
We’ll see hundreds of webs. Surprise us. Find forces in seashells, seed pods, termite mounds, or bent grass. Look closer.
4. Photo Clarity (15%)
Use natural light. Get close. Keep your subject sharp and in focus. We can’t judge blurry photos.
5. Quality of Explanation (20%)
Your caption matters. In 2-4 sentences, connect photo to science. Example: “These roots act as anchors. Thicker roots handle tension from the tree’s weight, stopping it from sliding.”
Hunt Responsibly: Our Safety Pledge
By entering, you agree to:
- Do not disturb wildlife: Never poke nests, touch eggs, or chase animals.
- Leave no trace: Don’t break branches, pick flowers, or stage scenes.
- Stay safe: No climbing unstable trees, restricted areas, or cliffs.
- Respect privacy: Avoid photographing private property or children without permission.
Great science protects what it studies. The best entries celebrate nature’s engineering
without harming it.
