 What
is Science Olympiad? |
|
The Science Olympiad began as the creative endeavors of Dr. Gerard Putz and Mr. Jack Cairns who thought it necessary to do something about science education in the United States to get students interested in science. It has grown from a one county competition to one which now includes teams frol all 50 states and parts of Canada. Science Olympiad is designed to be a hands-on event. The Science Olympiad encompasses all areas of science in the same competition. Biology, chemistry, earth science, and physics are emphasized with engineering and technology applications that combine several of these disciplines. Events are tested from paper/pencil tests to lab practical-type events to design and building devices that require the students to calibrate devices to accomplish a goal before competition. |
 |
| Who can compete? |
|
Science Olympiad is open to all grade levels, however only 6th, 7th, and 8th graders will be able to participate in the competition. We encourage 5th graders to join and attend the practices so they are well versed in the events for the following years. We will not limit the number of students involved, however only 15 students will be able to compete in the competitions. That is a Science Olympiad rule. |

 How
did we do in 2001? |
| 2001 marked the first year BRMS was involved in Science Olympiad. We worked hard, practiced a lot, and made a very good showing at our Regional Competition in February. We placed 5th overall, just missing the chance to go to the State Competition, because the first through fourth place teams get to go. The students involved did an excellent job and we came home with many medals! The coaches were very proud of the team effort and our team work was really apparent throughout the competition. Our team spirit was very obvious to other teams as well, and we won the Team Spirit award. It was a great start to our future in Science Olympiad! |
