Regional High School Science Bowl

at Brookhaven National Laboratory
 

2010 Competition: To be determined

The U.S. Department of Energy and Brookhaven National Laboratory congratulate the students who participated in the regional Science Bowl® held in 2009.

General Information

The Department of Energy's National Science Bowl® is a highly publicized academic competition among teams of high school students who answer questions on scientific topics in astronomy, biology, chemistry, mathematics, physics, earth, computer and general science. The teams are comprised of five students and a teacher who serves as an advisor and coach. The competition consists of a round robin followed by a double elimination final.  The questions are multiple choice and short answer in the categories of chemistry, biology, physics, mathematics, astronomy, and general, earth, and computer science.

Every year, Brookhaven National Laboratory hosts a regional competition. All high school students who attend school on Long Island are eligible. Entries of teams will be accepted on a first-come, first-serve basis until all available slots in the competition are filled.

Prizes are awarded to the top four teams, and the winning team is invited to participate in the National Science Bowl. All students who participate will receive a Certificate of Participation.  The National Science Bowl web site provides information for students, coaches, and volunteers.
