Hyde Science Lab
Guides, drills, and practice tests for the Hyde science team.
Each course teaches the rules topics from the ground up, then drills them until they stick. Pick an event to start.
Event courses
Every course is written for the current season's rules. New events are added here as they are built.
Disease Detectives
Learn how epidemiologists crack an outbreak, then work real-style cases: epi curves, 2x2 tables, attack rates, and odds ratios.
3 study guides · 5 case simulations · Quickfire and math drills · Mastery Map
Thermodynamics
Learn how heat moves and the laws behind it, then build a device that catches a lamp's heat and predict how warm your water gets.
9 study guides · Formula sheet · Heating lab and predictor · 5 drills and a practice test
Rocks and Minerals
Identify all 128 specimens on the 2027 list with photo drills, an atlas, keys, and a printable binder, plus guides to minerals and the three rock families.
5 study guides · Specimen atlas and keys · Printable binder · 5 drills and games
Write It Do It
Learn to write build directions your partner can follow, and to build from directions alone. The site checks your shorthand by building exactly what you wrote.
16 interactive modules · Writer and Builder practice · Shorthand checker · Partner tasks
Boomilever
Design, build, and test a wooden boomilever that holds 15 kg from a wall using as little wood as possible. Calculators, force and buckling explorers, and a build log show you where to cut mass.
14 plan sheets · Force and buckling explorers · Build and test log · Checklist and quiz
How every course works
The events are different, but each course follows the same three steps.
-
Step 1
Learn it
Short guides explain each rules topic in plain words, with a quick check after every section.
-
Step 2
Drill it
Fast practice games repeat the facts you miss most until you know them cold.
-
Step 3
Test it
Timed practice runs match the tournament format, so competition day feels familiar.
For coaches
All questions and guides are original and checked against the current rules. Students sign in with their Hyde account, so their progress follows them from course to course.
Coach tools such as printable tests and team progress are added course by course.
