2010 Quiz

Dear Principal / Head of Science

On behalf of the Royal Australian Chemical Institute, I cordially invite all students at your school to participate in the Australian National Chemistry Quiz at your Secondary School. An Invitiation to Participate and Entry Form will be sent to every high school in Australia.

The Quiz is truly international with quiz papers translated into seven different languages.

The 2009 Australian National Chemistry Quiz was extremely well received in all States, attracting 120,415 entries from Levels 7-12, representing 1,460 schools throughout the country and 14 neighbouring countries. We anticipate an even greater response for the 2009 Quiz.

The Quiz is run in four divisions; Junior Years 7-8, Junior Years 9-10, Senior Year 11 and Senior Year 12.
It consists of 30 multiple choice questions and will need a time slot of 70-80 minutes. The actual Quiz runs for approximately one hour. The Quiz will be supervised within the school by the teacher.

Finally, I would like to stress that the Quiz is designed to be as free of course syllabus content as possible. Students are only competing against students from their own level in their own State or Country.
