When most people think of the Olympics, they don't think of science. But in the US, students compete in something called Science Olympiad.
It has lots of 43 events. Students go there to show how much they know about the science of music, biology, chemistry and others. My best event is forestry (森林学).
This month, I went to the Olympiad with my school's team. We had worked hard, but this was the state competition. It would be 44 to win.
The Olympiad was in three big rooms. When we 45 there, we set up our team's "camp"off to one side. The big day had come at last!
First, I went to watch the tower building competition. That's when students build small towers and hope they can hold up a lot of 46 .
One of my schoolmates was putting weights on her tower. She was 47 , and in the end her tower couldn't hold it -it 48 ! I felt sad for her.
When it was time for my event, forestry, I knew 49 all of the leaves and could answer most of the questions. 50 , we won second place in the whole state! A nice man gave me a medal and smiled at me. I had a great time at the Science Olympiad. I can't wait for next year!
