02/23/2013 - Science Olympiad 2013 State Tournament

Sat, 23 Feb 2013 00:00:00 -0400

What is Science Olympiad?

The Science Olympiad is a national, non-profit, tax exempt organization, devoted to improving the quality of science education, increasing student interest in science, and providing recognition of outstanding achievement in science education by both students and teachers. These goals are achieved by participation in Science Olympiad tournaments, incorporating Science Olympiad into classroom curriculum and attending teacher training institutes.

Science Olympiad tournaments follow the format of classroom lab tests, popular board games, TV shows, and athletic games. Everyone can find a niche for his or her particular skill in Science Olympiad as each event is designed to take advantage of the wide variety of students' talents. Events are well balanced between the various science disciplines of biology, earth science, chemistry, physics, computers and technology. There is also a balance between events requiring knowledge of science facts, concepts, processes, skills and science applications.

What are the Benefits of Science Olympiad?

A three year Georgia State University study of the impact of Science Olympiad on middle and high school students confirmed significant benefits in the following areas:

Increased in-depth knowledge and understanding of science concepts and general knowledge

An increase in ability to apply scientific knowledge
Greater breadth of knowledge in areas previously unexplored
Exhibit significantly enhanced laboratory skills
Experience science as real scientists would
Use and apply the scientific method with meaning
Begin to see the interrelatedness of the sciences.

Improved problem-solving skills

Application of problem solving skills as a long term endeavor

Education in the importance of trial and error

Emphasis on experiences rather than memorization.

Hands-on training in:

Collaborative and/or creative thinking

Applying critical thinking skills to real-time situations

Constant experimentation to solve problems at hand

Creative application of new ideas

Time management and teamwork.
