Science Contests and Competitions

Math League Contests The Math League has Math Contests for Grades 4 through 8, High School Students, and Algebra one students. Over one million students from the United States and Canada participate in Math League Contests each year. Every contest has questions from different areas of mathematics. The goal is to encourage student interest and confidence in mathematics through solving worthwhile problems.

Science Olympiad Science Olympiad is a national science competition, with over 12,000 K-12 schools participating across the nation. There are 22 events in the B and C divisions, covering all aspects of science, including not only the traditional Biology, Chemistry, Physics, but also Engineering, Nature, and Communication Skills. Most of the events involve a team of people (usually 2) taking a test, doing a lab, testing a construction, and/or running a contraption. The majority of events test how well students apply the scientific method, as well as their own ingenuity.

The Critters Contest Get a chance to show your science and HTML skills with this monthly contest sponsored by sausage software. Write about your favorite animal, bug, or reptile for a chance at free software. The Critters contest is designed to encourage all children to learn more about animals and share what they know, so that other kids can learn more too. The contest is also designed to bring more kids into the technology age by giving them the opportunity to push their HTML design skills and creativity to the limit.
