Arizona Science Olympiad Division B

Since 1985, Arizona Science Olympiad has strived and succeeded in increasing student interest in science, through classroom activities, research, and regional, state, and national tournaments. The tournaments are rigorous academic interscholastic competitions that consist of a series of individual and team events which students prepare for during the year. These challenging and motivational events are well balanced between the various science disciplines of biology, earth science, chemistry, physics, computers and technology. Olympiad events are designed to use a variety of intellectual and practical skills. Some events require a quick recall of specific facts, while others require concept development, a process skill, or an application of a specific concept. An Olympiad team is composed of up to fifteen students for Division B (middle school).
