National
Science Bowl®
for
Middle School Students |
Who
Participates?
To
be eligible to compete, a student must be enrolled for the current school
year in grades six, seven, or eight at the team’s school, and be
more than 10 years of age and less than 15 years of age, or receive a
special waiver from the Department of Energy. Teams of home school students,
girl scouts, boy scouts and science clubs are welcome to participate;
however, if the school a student attends is competing in a Regional Science
Bowl, then that student may compete only on a team from that school.
Each competing team
consists of four or five student members (only four will be playing
at any time). The winning team from each regional tournament
is eligible to be invited to participate at the National finals April
30–May 5, 2009 in Washington, DC. No school or student
group may compete in more than one regional competition. No student
may compete on more
than
one team.
Each
regional coordinator will determine if more than one team from a high
school will be allowed to participate in that regional as well as the
geographic area their regional will encompass. No more than 3 teams from
one school or student group may compete in a regional event.
