The South Korean Ministry of Science, Technology and Information Communication held the 29th International Science Olympiad (IJSO) in Bangkok, Thailand for a total of nine days starting December 1st, and six junior high school students from the South Korean national team won gold medals.
It was revealed that they won the title and were ranked first overall in their country. This year's competition was attended by 308 students from 54 countries around the world. Under the theme “Science for Sustainable Food and Agriculture,”
There were 30 theoretical questions (30 points), 17 deep theory questions (30 points), and 14 experimental questions (40 points) from fields such as science, chemistry, and life science. Each student was given 3 hours of time.
worked on the problem. In theory and deep theory, we will specifically discuss ``physical concepts connected to fruit harvesting'', ``animal physiology and material circulation in ecosystems'', and in experiments we will cover ``creation of a simple spectrophotometer'' and ``spectrophotometry''.
Questions such as ``Analysis of chemical reactions by method'' and ``Microscopic observation and classification of aquatic plant stems'' were asked, and the students were comprehensively evaluated on their scientific problem-solving abilities that are linked to real-life situations.
An official from the department said, ``This year, as part of the International Science Olympiad project, 51 members of the Korean national team will participate in international competitions in nine fields.
We were able to actively support the project and achieve excellent results."
