Science
Emphasis for the Science contest, for students in seventh and eighth grades,
will be placed on knowledge of scientific fact, understanding of scientific
principles and the ability to think through scientific problems. The contest was
designed to test not only memory but the ability to critically think about
science and scientific processes and concepts. Such concepts include, but are
not limited to: matter and energy, equilibrium, force and motion, physical and
chemical properties, the relationship between organisms and the environment, the
components of our solar system, the composition of matter and genetics. The
contest will build upon the vast body of changing and increasing knowledge
described by physical, mathematical, and conceptual models.
Each test will consist of approximately 35 multiple choice questions which
will be taken from current state-adopted science textbooks and the
curriculum.
