Siberian tournament for young physicists. Tournament of young physicists

The VI open Siberian tournament for young physicists has started. This year, 26 teams are participating in the Siberian tournament: from Barabinsk, Verkhnyaya Pyshma, Evsino, Yekaterinburg, Krasnoobsk, Lebedevka, Maslyanino, Mezhdurechensk, Mirny, Novokuznetsk, Novosibirsk, Rezh, Sukhoi Log, Talmenka, Ulan-Ude.

The tournament for young physicists is unique team competition for solving physical problems of a research nature, which has its own unique format. Schoolchildren have been solving these problems since the beginning of September, and now they have to prove themselves in physical battles. Each round of combat includes a challenge report, opposition, peer review, and general discussion. To win such a competition, you need to be a skilled experimenter, understand the theory, be able to present your results clearly and clearly, and be prepared for unexpected turns of the discussion. The work of the guys is assessed by a jury consisting of scientists - physicists.

At the opening, the TUV participants were greeted by:

Fedoruk Mikhail Petrovich, professor, rector of NSU;

Solodovnikov Mikhail Yurievich, President of the Siberian Youth Theater;

The tournament will last until February 4, all events are held in the main building of the NSU. The organizers of the tournament are the Ministry of Education, Science and Innovation Policy of the Novosibirsk Region, the Regional Center for the Development of Creativity of Children and Youth, Novosibirsk State University, the Foundation for Support of Education Projects.

For reference. The Siberian tournament is part of the IYPT tournament system. Participants first participate in their regional tournament, then in the Russian one. In turn, the winners of RosTUF represent Russia at the International Tournament of Young Physicists. In 2014 in the UK and 2015 in Thailand Russian team consisting entirely of Novosibirsk, two times in a row managed to win silver medals.

    Physics is an interesting and exciting science. How many unusual phenomena can be explained with its help. Usually scientists, professors, in short, people with higher education... But the tournament for young physicists (hereinafter TUV) is an opportunity for high school students and not only to feel like real scientists and researchers.


    Still, what is a tournament for young physicists?

    Tournament of young physicists- one of the leading international team competition high school students in the ability to solve complex research tasks, convincingly present their solutions, defend them in scientific discussions.
    Alas, this definition is far from covering the entire tournament. Therefore, in this article I will try to tell you about TUF in full measure. I want to clarify right away that there are many types of tournament, which are not particularly different from each other. But this article will talk about the Siberian and All-Russian tournaments (since I only participated in them).

    Publishing tasks

    It all starts with the publication of seventeen problems on the website of the international tournament for young physicists in the middle of summer. Next is the translation of tasks on the site all-Russian tournament as well as a reference kit.

    It is worth noting that the tasks are research tasks, that is, they require a lot of experiments and experiments, a physical substantiation, both qualitative and quantitative.

    Example task

    The rope ladder consists of wooden rungs, alternately inclined in opposite directions. Hang it vertically and then release it. When such a ladder falls onto a horizontal surface, its upper end moves downward faster than it would with a free fall. Explain this phenomenon and investigate how it depends on suitable parameters.



    Observation of the phenomenon

    At the beginning of September, ten of the seventeen problems for the Siberian tournament are published, which takes place two months before the All-Russian, namely in early February. Then the teams begin to prepare for the tournament.

    Preparing for the tournament

    At this point I will tell you how my team prepares. First, we all read together and superficially analyze the conditions of the problems, then each chooses a problem for himself (we have such an attitude that everyone solves his own problem, of course we consult among ourselves, but with such an attitude, it will not be possible to shift responsibility for his task to anyone) ... Next, we search for theory and make the first observations.

    Examples of observations


    Density visualization
    Schlieren photography is often used to visualize changes in density in a gas. Build a setup for schlieren photography and investigate how well it can resolve density differences.


    Electric honeycomb

    Pour some oil onto a horizontal metal plate and place a vertical metal needle over it. When a high voltage is applied between the needle and the plate, a cellular structure appears on the surface of the oil. Explain and research this phenomenon.


    Azimuth-radial pendulum

    Attach one end of the horizontal resilient rod to a rigid tripod. Secure the other end of the rod to the stretched thread to avoid vertical deflection, and hang the weight on another thread. In the resulting pendulum, radial vibrations (parallel to the rod) can spontaneously turn into azimuthal (perpendicular to the rod) and vice versa. Explore this phenomenon.


    After observing the phenomena, we put forward hypotheses, confirm or refute them by experiments and experiments. Then we find quantitative dependencies and deduce a mathematical model, if the physics of the problem is complex, then we make a quantitative assessment.


    It should be emphasized that mathematical calculations not supported by physics are, to put it mildly, bad form in a tournament.

    In general, a good report should contain the following points:

    • the phenomenon referred to in the condition of the problem is reproduced by experience;
    • a plausible qualitative explanation is offered;
    • a theoretical model of the phenomenon is presented, which allows predicting some quantitative dependencies;
    • these quantitative relationships were measured experimentally;
    • the results of the experiment are compared with the predictions of the theory.
    It is also very important to properly structure the report, because what you have done in five months needs to be told in 10 minutes so that you will be understood. Therefore, writing a speech and rehearsal also needs to devote a lot of time, although this is not always possible. Usually in the last days everyone completes the experiments and includes them in the presentation of the report.

    Physical combat structure

    Each physical battle can be divided into three rounds, in each of which the teams change roles. By the way, about the roles. After the draw, the teams assign the roles of speaker, opponent and reviewer. If the role of the presenter is clear, then what the opponent and the reviewer are doing.
    The opponent asks the Speaker clarifying questions, after which he presents his summary of the report. He makes an overview of the solution to the problem presented by the Rapporteur, analyzes its achievements and shortcomings, and formulates questions for discussion. The discussion discusses the solution presented by the Speaker and the basic physics of the problem. The Opponent's speech should not turn into a presentation of his own decision.
    The reviewer gives a brief assessment of the speeches of the Speaker and the Opponent,
    including the discussion that took place between them. (At the all-Russian tournament, the Reviewer participates in the general discussion and can ask questions to both the speaker and the opponent)


    Discussion

    The discussion is an integral part of the tournament, as there is a direct dialogue between the participants of the tournament, in which the physics of the phenomenon is discussed. The task of the discussion is to bring different points of view on the phenomenon into one true one, but this is not always the case. There are some tournament participants who do not want to listen to another point of view in any way, do not even want to discuss it, but persistently impose their own, while not explaining why their decision is correct. Therefore, if you consider someone else's vision physical processes the problem is incorrect, then justify why this is so, referring to physical laws. And try with your discussion buddy to find correct solution... It should be noted that discussion in a question-and-answer form is highly undesirable. Discussion should be reasoning, not short questions and answers.

    International tournament for young physicists

    At the end of the All-Russian tournament, a national team is formed for the international TUV. It is worth noting the complexity of the international tournament. It consists, first of all, in the fact that all reports, discussions and discussions are conducted in English, and this directly affects the assessments of the teams.
