As a tradition, the school held their annual “International Week”, which is the most popular event at Shanghai Foreign Language School. This year, the Roots & Shoots club organized the “Environmental Science Contest”, this competition is well-renowned by the participants for its high academic requirements.
The first part of the contest is free-choice, in which each team had  to choose three questions they wanted to answer, each question ranged in difficulty from easy to difficult. Questions from easier portions was basic information from a Junior High Biology textbook. The harder questions required students to have extra knowledge of environmental science. The second part of the free-response questions, which  not only tested the understanding of the test takers on theories, but also asked them to practically try to express their views of environmental protection through the models they made by hand. In the end, only 6 teams entered the finale of the contest
