Compete in the All Science Challenge
Calling all Gr.6-8 educators!
Your students can test their science knowledge at the All Science Challenge!
This enrichment event is an exciting question and answer competition with fun, hands-on design challenges that inspires Grades 6, 7 and 8 students to acquire science knowledge beyond their curriculum. Participants work in teams of four to study the All Science Challenge Handbook, which covers a tremendous range of science material. Classmates are also invited to campus to cheer on their teams and to participate in hands-on activities. Prizes are awarded to the winners and participation certificates are awarded to all team members.
The 2010 competition is now over, but you can always encourage your students to participate in next year's event! To get an idea of what the questions are like, download the 2010 All Science Challenge Handbook [Acrobat PDF - 4.99 MB].
Some campuses also offer a high school version — the Science, Engineering and Technology Challenge for Grade 10-12 students.
