The Science Olympiad is an international nonprofit organization devoted to:
• improving the quality of science education,
• increasing student interest in science, and
• providing recognition for outstanding achievement in science education by both students and teachers.
Science Olympiad
Established by Dr. Gerard Putz and Jack Cairns in 1984

Science Olympiad Tournament
•Science Olympiad is a competition for middle and high school students.
• Division B – Grades 6-9• Division C – Grades 9-12
Competition utilizes an inquiry approach to learning, engaging students in hands-on Physics, Chemistry, Earth & Space Science, Biology, and Engineering.

Division B (Grades 6-9)-----------------------------------------------
Division C (Grades 9-12)• Students compete as 2 person teams in 23 events
(in each division) from 5 categories: • Life, Personal & Social Science, • Physical Science & Chemistry, • Earth & Space Science,• Technology & Engineering, and• Inquiry & Nature of Science.

Example Event: Metric Mastery
![Page 13: MSO and Com mon Core](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062811/56816128550346895dd0806d/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Example Event: Metric MasteryTeams will be given objects and data sheets.
Part 1: Teams will estimate mass, length, width, height, area, and/or volume of objects.
Part 2: After receiving devices, teams measure to determine actual mass, length, width, or height of objects.
Area and/or Volume will be calculated.
Part 3: Teams will complete metric unit conversions.
Hint: a standard paper clip is 2.73 mm in length

Team Make-up• Each team consists of up to 15 students from the same school.
• For Division B, only five (5) ninth-graders and for Division C, only seven (7) twelfth-graders are allowed.
• However, middle schools may invite five of their last year's eighth grade students to be part of the team.
Ninth-grade students can compete at only one level.
Think about having a Mississippi Science Olympiad team at your school.
