We have had a great turnout so far for applications. I have sent home invitations to the team.
We could still have 4 more members! So if you know anyone that would like to join the team, invite them! The application is on this site as well as Google Classroom.
We will have a parent & member meeting on Tuesday, October 11th at 5:30 pm at SEMS in Mrs. Gregg's Room (Room 216 in the 8th-grade hall).

The membership fee is $25.00. This fee is not due until students have been approved based on academic standing.

What is Science Olympiad?
Science Olympiad is a national organization dedicated to improving education by fostering a passion for science among students. Its success is dependent on creating links between community resources, parents, and the school. Improving the curriculum and providing recognition for scientific achievement are the goals of the program.
Events include a combination of building, lab demonstration, technology, and testing competitions. Building events include Towers, Storm the Castle, Battery Buggy, and Bottle Rockets. Lab demonstration events include Can’t Judge a Powder, Awesome Aquifers, Microbe Mission, Shock Value, Write It Do It, Junkyard Challenge, and Optics; as well as Crime Busters where students must conduct tests and correctly identify liquid and solid materials found in a crime. Experimental Design is another lab-based event that determines a team's ability to design, conduct and report findings of an experiment. Students also compete in study/testing events such as Anatomy, Fossils, Meteorology, Solar System, Road Scholar, Ecology and Dynamic Planet. The technology-based event included Compute This.
