National Middle School Science Bowl

What is Middle School Science Bowl?

There are two competitions at the 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. Teams are given car components to construct their model cars.

In 2003, more than 2,000 students participated in sixteen regional competitions throughout the nation. The national event included a day of academic competition and a day of hands-on science and engineering when the teams designed, built, and raced model cars. Awards were given for both the academic and "hands-on" competitions.
