National Middle School Science Bowl
For information including eligibility and application information, visit DOE's Office of Science Education Web site.
The Department of Energy's Office of Science and General Motors have teamed up to sponsor the National Middle School Science Bowl competitions. The science bowls are fun fast-paced academic tournaments that test the brainpower of middle school teams on science and math topics. It is well recognized that the middle school years are the most productive time to attract students to science and math subjects. The National Middle School Science Bowl provides an opportunity for students to develop their science and mathematics skills in a non-classroom setting.
Middle School students participate in two competitions at the National Middle School Science Bowl - an academic math and science competition and a model fuel cell car competition. The academic competition is a fast-paced question-and-answer contest where students answer questions about earth science, physical science, life science, math, and general science. The model fuel cell car competition challenges students to design, build, and race model cars.
