[Catalist] Australian Society for Medical Research - School quiz opening next week!

[Shelley Waters]

Dear teachers,



The Australian Society for Medical Research (ASMR) Schools Quiz is running again this year and will go live next week on Monday, July 13th. This is a fun online quiz that students can do at home or in class. There are also great prizes for students to win.



Students can participate through the ASMR website: https://asmr.org.au/asmr-mrw/asmr-mrw-schools-quiz/



 The format will be:

  *   24 questions covering 8 topics in medical research, plus a bonus question
  *   Takes approximately 1 hr
  *   Prizes will be awarded to the students with the most correct answers in 3 age groups, Years 7 - 8, 9 - 10, and 11 -12.
  *   Younger students (i.e. Year 6) are also welcome to participate and if we have large numbers we can create a new prize division
  *   Winning students will each get a certificate and gift voucher (i.e. iTunes, Coles Myer vouchers etc.)
  *   Members of the ASMR-WA committee are happy to give a talk to participating classes about medical research if teachers are interested. This could focus on an area of research, or medical research as a career option, can be catered to what you like.



Please feel free to register your interest or inform others of the online quiz through Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/theASMR/posts/4479211165437436
