Science UIL
Welcome to Ms. Pierson's Science UIL website! Here you will find resources to help you prepare for the Science UIL competition.
The purpose of the Science Contest is to challenge high school students to do a wide range of reading in biology, chemistry and physics, to gain an understanding of the significance of experiments rather than to recall obscure details, to be alert to new discoveries and information in the areas of science, to 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. The contest consists of a two-hour objective test with 60 questions – 20 from biology, 20 from chemistry and 20 from physics.
For an introduction to the contest and resources, check out the 2021-2022 Science UIL Handbook. Many of these resources can be found at online stores, book stores, or posted here on this site.
