Compete in the All Science Challenge

Download: 2010 All Science Challenge Handbook [Acrobat PDF - 4.99 MB]

Calling all Gr.6-8 educators!

Your students have the chance to test their knowledge of science in the All Science Challenge!

This enrichment event is an exciting question and answer competition, with fun hands-on challenges, that inspires Grades 6, 7 and 8 students to acquire science knowledge beyond their curriculum. Participants work in teams of 4 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.

Some campuses also offer a high school version — the Science, Engineering and Technology Challenge for Grade 10-12 students.
