As the name implies, the Science Olympiad is modeled after the Olympic games. Participating schools field a team of 15 students which prepare to compete in a variety of science events at the Regional and State competitions. Nearly all of the events are hands-on, making them more meaningful and FUN to the students.
In addition to being eligible to compete, member schools will receive the complete Coaches Manual containing the competition rules and descriptions of each Science Olympiad event. The Science Olympiad manual and its classroom application value alone are worth the membership fee. We would like you to consider joining just for the benefits of incorporating these activities into the classroom!
Member schools may participate and vie for the opportunity to advance to the state and national competitions.
If you have not participated in the past, please consider the opportunity your students would have to showcase their science ability and join in the excitement. For those schools that are returning to the competition, we look forward to seeing you and wish you luck in your regional Science Olympiad!
