Brief overview

The Olympiad is organized by St. Petersburg State University (SPbSU) and the National Research University of Information Technologies, Mechanics and Optics (NRU ITMO). It was created by a group of scientists and methodologists from St. Petersburg who actively used computers in teaching physics.

The Internet Olympiad for schoolchildren in physics is for those students in grades 7-11 who are interested in physics and who know mathematics at a fairly high level and are proficient in computer technology. Its main difference from other Olympiads is the use of virtual laboratories. Of course, we cannot provide everyone with real installations; our experiment is based on models. But we tried to reproduce as accurately as possible those features that are inherent in a real physical experiment. The Olympiad participant is given a set of tools with which he must complete the tasks. For almost all tasks, there are a large number of ways to obtain the correct solution. The Olympiad participant must independently choose which tools to choose and what actions to take.

As happens in science, technology, and everyday life, it is not always possible to immediately obtain the correct result. Especially in an experiment. The Olympiad participant, immediately after sending the report to the server, receives computer-generated information about the correctness or incorrectness of the results, and can redo incorrectly completed parts of the task. True, he receives small penalty points. In addition to virtual laboratory models, our Olympiads have tests that allow you to test the basic knowledge of participants. Passing the test allows you to increase your scores, but without successfully completing several tasks in virtual laboratories, it does not give you the opportunity to become an Olympiad winner.

The Internet Olympiad for schoolchildren in physics helps to find students with abilities in the field of experimental activities who can apply their knowledge in practice. What the Unified State Exam and most other Olympiads do not provide. Conducting a real experiment on a large scale on such a scale (with free access for all participants to the same type of equipment) is extremely expensive and unrealistic. But participants with outstanding theoretical abilities can also receive a diploma from the Olympiad, since complete solution of complex theoretical tasks during the full-time round allows them to score enough points to receive a diploma.

Our Olympiad is designed for both very talented participants and ordinary students. The tasks have different levels of difficulty, and almost anyone can complete some tasks - especially the test ones, as well as the initial parts of the tasks in each model. But there are also very difficult tasks - with the level of complexity of the All-Russian Olympiad. Only a few out of thousands of participants can cope with them. For example, in 2010, at the full-time round of the Olympiad, only 3-5 people completed some tasks, and some of them not on the first try. Performing such tasks requires not only knowledge and skills, but also great creativity.

The qualifying stage of the Olympiad is conducted via the Internet in the form of two distance rounds, the final (face-to-face) - using the same technologies as distance ones, but in display classes of universities that are the regional organizers of the Olympiad. Information about upcoming tours is announced on the Olympiad home page and in electronic mailings to educational institutions and participants of previous Olympiads, as well as through the St. Petersburg Education Committee no later than a month before the start of the tour. Immediately after registration, training sessions open (participants have access to training tasks).

Registration for the Olympiad is free and is carried out via the Internet by the students themselves. Participation in the Olympiad is free and free.

The first remote round of the Internet Olympiad for schoolchildren in physics will be held from December 11 to December 17, 2011 (on any of the specified days, but from the moment the passage begins, a fixed time is given, after which the participant’s access to the tasks is automatically closed).

The Internet Olympiad for schoolchildren in physics is one of the largest Olympiads in physics not only in Russia, but also in the world. In the 2010/2011 academic year, 24,053 students from all 83 constituent entities of the Russian Federation, as well as from 18 other countries, took part in it. In the 2011/2012 academic year, as in previous years, the Olympiad is included in the List of Olympiads, which gives graduates benefits when entering universities. Not only those who expect to receive a diploma can participate in the Olympiad: one of our tasks is to show that physics is interesting and exciting. The difficulty of the tasks varies from very simple to very difficult, so each student will be able to cope with part of the tasks.

Students register independently; the procedure is outlined on the page. Registration and participation in the Olympiad is free and free. Immediately after registration, participants receive access to training tasks, and when registering during the tour - to Olympiad tasks.

Teachers are registered in the same way. After registration, teachers have access to view training tasks, and after the end of the next round - to view Olympiad tasks so that they can be discussed with students. Also, teachers who indicated their email address during registration are sent information about events related to the Internet Olympiad.

Those participants who have already registered, but have not completed the training, are strongly recommended to complete at least one task based on the model - so that if there are technical problems, they have time to solve them before the start of the Olympiad round.

Olympiad schedule:
distance tour1: December 11-17, 2011,
distance tour2: January 22-28, 2012,
In-person tour approximately March 24-25, 2012 (to be confirmed)

Participants who have scored the highest number of points based on the sum of the results of two distance rounds are invited to the in-person round (in 11th grade up to 35% of participants, in junior grades a smaller percentage).

We encourage you to invite all schoolchildren in grades 7-11 you know to participate in the Olympiad, even if they are not interested in physics and Olympiads. After working with the tasks of our Olympiad, they may become interested in physics, and they will understand that physics classes can be interesting. And for those who know physics well, thanks to an increase in the number of participants, their chances of getting a diploma will increase!

Olympiad diploma holders who showed the best results in the full-time round are awarded prizes (laptops, netbooks, etc.) - see pages 21-26 in the document http://barsic.spbu.ru/olymp/ 2011/2011_4_common_info_v2.pdf
Teachers who trained the largest number of Olympiad winners are also awarded valuable prizes and diplomas.

The basis of the Olympiad consists of tasks from virtual laboratories - software models of physical systems with bodies, liquids, electrical elements, physical devices, etc. Therefore, you should pass the Olympiad using the special BARSIC program, which allows you to complete tasks based on models - details are indicated on the registration page http://barsic.spbu.ru/olymp/index_reg.html. It is advisable to set up work with models in advance - registered participants already have access to completing training tasks.
If there are problems, you should read the instructions for eliminating them on the Questions and Answers page http://barsic.spbu.ru/olymp/index_faq.html

Theory is when everything is known, but nothing works. Practice is when everything works, but no one knows why. We combine theory and practice: nothing works... and no one knows why!
