Students Compete to Represent Maine in National Science Bowl
In 2017, the winning team of the Maine Regional Science Bowl held in Gorham was from Cape Elizabeth (pictured). The high school students were questioned on topics in biology, chemistry, energy, math, physics, and earth and space. (Photo from https://usm.maine.edu)
REGIONAL 2019 marks the 29th NSB, which the Department of Energy Office of Science launched to interest today’s youth in pursuing careers in science and math. Middle and high school student teams from diverse backgrounds are composed of four students, one alternate, and a teacher who serves as an advisor and coach. The competition tests the students on a range of science disciplines including biology, chemistry, Earth science, physics, energy, and math. The winning team mem-
bers from the regional competition will receive all-expenses-paid trips to Washington, D.C., to compete in DOE’s National Science Bowl from April 25-29. The winner of the national competition will win prizes for the team members and their schools. The competitions start this month, with four students from each team facing off in a fast-paced, question-and-answer format. The competition tests students’ knowledge in all areas of science and mathematics. At the Finals, winning
teams can score exciting adventure trips to Alaska and national parks across the country to learn first-hand about science in the field; as well as trophies, medals, and supplies for their schools’ science departments. But to many, the ultimate prize simply is the prestige of winning the National Championship. Regional competition is taking place at Bailey Hall, USM Gorham Campus, 37 College Avenure in Gorham on March 2. Schools competing include: See SCIENCE page 7...
