olympics

Welcome to the sensation and perception olympics! You are in your song groups, competing against one another! Points are awarded for using vocabulary terms accurately, creatively, and demonstrating deep understanding. For each event, make it clear how many points you earned and bold the vocab terms you applied.

There are 5 events, Selfie-ing, Spiderman Walk and Drop, Ice Clenching, and taste testing (don't participate if you are allergic to dyes), cue the NBC theme song!

Points will be recorded for the entire team, you are competing as a team unit so collaboration is key, much as all of the senses work together to make our daily experiences that much more rich. As you compete, you will not only be exercising all of your senses, but applying vocabulary terms to your endeavors on a shared google doc. Please title the doc with your names and share it with me from the start. CAPS vocab terms as you go, you can only use terms once! Olympic inners will be announced at the start of the test!

**Selfie-ing:** You will in groups or individually take selfies wherever you need to (silently) in this hall that demonstrate vocabulary terms from the chapter. I suggest perspective terms, rather than obvious parts of the eye that you already know… One point will be earned per accurately used vocabulary term in selfie. Only one term per selfie, please put them in a doc and explain how the term applies, your logic isn't always as clear as you think it is... **Up to 10pts are possible** plus unlimited vocab points. This is the only relay event.

**Spiderman Walk and Drop:** One member will wear upside down distortion goggles and then walk from the straight line and towards the bucket and drop ten pencils from eye level, standing behind the taped line into Spiderman's head – your team will receive a point for each pencil that makes it into the Spidermanhead bucket.

Another member will walk the line with 15 degree distortion goggles and drop 10 rulers into Spiderman's head, other group members will be adding to the doc to record applicable vocabulary terms to the doc and recording your teams success story. (each pencil is worth .5 points!!!)


 * (10pts possible) plus unlimited vocab points. **

**Ice Clenching:** One member will hold a full scoop of crushed ice in their hand for as long as they can with a warm washcloth on the wrist. Members will be timed, high scoring team will be ranked for point determination. **10pts** for 1st 8pts for 2nd 6pts for 3rd 4pts for 4th 2pts for 5th out of all of the classes. You must keep your fingers spread out and in the middle of the bowl. Other group members will be adding to the doc to record applicable vocabulary terms to the doc and recording your teams success story.

**Eavesdropping:** a cell phone on vibrate has been hidden in a nearby locker, it will buzz occasionally. (please notify me when you are going to set out to find it) Identify the locker that it is in. **(10pts possible) plus unlimited vocab points. **This may only be tried once. 0pts for incorrect locker. Pause so group members can add to the doc to record applicable vocabulary terms to the doc and recording your teams success story.

**Tast-Testing:** Using the blindfold, record how accurate the tasting teammate is in taste testing the "natural fruit flavors" in Fruit Loops and differentiating between the four different flavors. A chart will be at the desk. Please be hygienic. **Up to 10pts possible** here if all 6 flavors are accurately guessed, 8 for 5, 6 for 4, 4 for 3 3 for 2 2 for 1 and 1 point for pity. Other group members will be adding to the doc to record applicable vocabulary terms to the doc and recording your teams success story.

I just ordered 2 pairs of distortion goggles, if they arrive... <span style="font-family: &#39;Times New Roman&#39;; font-size: 14.6667px; vertical-align: baseline;">You will be recording your points on the back board by your team name. Select a team name based on your sense.

<span style="font-family: &#39;Times New Roman&#39;; font-size: 14.6667px; vertical-align: baseline;">The most crucial component will be going on as each event progresses. You as a team must determine which vocabulary terms from the chapter are most applicable for each event. Each event should have several terms, and your job is to explain why each term is most appropriate for that event. Each term should be used correctly. Feel free to use the list of terms with definitions at the end of the ppt or the quizlet to help you do this.
