Honors Chemistry Students Take on the Stoichiometry Olympics
Yesterday, Honors Chemistry students competed in the Stoichiometry Olympics—a high-energy, team-based competition where they applied stoichiometric principles through three interactive events. Students worked collaboratively, moved strategically, and thought quickly to earn points. The events included:
- Trashketball – Teams solve stoichiometry problems and earn points by making basketball-style shots.
- A Balancing Act – Teams balance chemical equations and cross a “balance beam” before submitting answers.
- The Stoichiometry Relay – Teams solve a stoichiometry problem while completing a relay race around the chemistry building.
This competition transforms stoichiometry from a paper-and-pencil exercise into an engaging, team-building, active-learning experience. It helps students reinforce problem-solving and equation-balancing skills under timed conditions while helping students develop teamwork and communication strategies. The interactive challenges improve retention and offer a fun, collaborative way to engage with chemistry.
Of all the events, students generally say that Trashketball is their highlight!
The Stoichiometry Olympics is just one of the many ways Moravian Academy brings learning to life through hands-on, interactive experiences. Congratulations to all the participants for their enthusiasm, teamwork, and scientific problem-solving!
