The science contest is all about the importance of experiments and scientific discoveries. Your knowledge of biology, chemistry, and physics will help you select the correct answers in this contest. Individual awards are given in each subject area, so even students who have not yet taken all the science courses can excel!
Elements of the contest: The Science Contest consists of a two-hour objective test with 60 questions – 20 from biology, 20 from chemistry, and 20 from physics. The Science Contest challenges students to read widely in biology, chemistry, and physics, to understand the significance of experiments rather than to recall obscure details and to be alert to new discoveries and information in the areas of science. It is designed to help students gain an understanding of the basic principles as well as knowledge of the history and philosophy of science, and to foster a sense of enthusiasm about science and how it affects our daily lives.
