Students take a photograph that has a science concept illustrated.  They prepare a paragraph to describe the science in the photo.  Submit the photo electronically (.JPG format) to SDAAPT@hotmail.com along with the paragraph by January 21, 2004.  Title the photograph.  Include the name of the student, school, school address, and science teacher’s name.

The submitted photos will be judged at the South Dakota Science Teachers Association Winter Meeting in Huron.  Participating students will receive Certificates of Recognition and their entries will be submitted to the national AAPT photo contest where the top photos nationally will be published in The Science Teacher magazine.

Students will prepare a VHS video clip (no longer than five minutes) that describes some aspect of science. Be sure the video has a title. The VHS clip is mailed to Jerry Loomer, 435 Viking Drive, Rapid City SD  57701 so that it arrives by January 30, 2004.  Entries prepared after that date may be hand delivered to Jerry Loomer at the Symposium Room of the Crossroads Convention Center in Huron before 7:10 PM on February 5, 2004.  Include the name(s) of the student(s), school, school address, and science teacher’s name.  Releases may be needed from any identifiable person in the video so the videos can be shown to national audiences.

Entries will be judged at the South Dakota Science Teachers Association Winter Meeting in Huron.  Participating students will receive Certificates of Recognition and their entries will be submitted to the national AAPT video contest.
