Annual Nevada Regional Science Bowl

Thirty-two teams from high schools in Arizona, California, Nevada, and Utah will compete in the eighteenth Annual Nevada Regional Science Bowl, February 6-7, 2009, at the Atomic Testing Museum and the University of Nevada, Las Vegas. The winning team will travel to Maryland to compete with high schools across the country.

The U.S. Department of Energy's National Science Bowl, which will be held April 30 - May 5, 2009 in Chevy Chase, Maryland, is a highly publicized academic competition among teams of high school students who are quizzed on scientific topics in astronomy, biology, chemistry, earth science, general science, mathematics, and physics.

The objective of the Science Bowl is to promote and challenge the nation’s high school students to excel in math and science. The competition consists of a round robin followed by a double elimination final. Questions are submitted by scientists at all of Department of Energy's facilities as well as from other federal agencies and university consortia. Each Science Bowl team is composed of four students, one alternate student, and a teacher who serves as an advisor and coach. More than 100,000 students have competed in the Science Bowl since its establishment in 1991.
