Thank you for your interest in joining our Science Bowl team! We are looking for dedicated students who are willing to push themselves past their limits to bring our school's team to nationals. With that being said, Science Bowl is about the journey, not the destination. The rush of adrenaline that kicks in when you hear the question and your hand races towards the buzzer is truly exhilarating, and our goal, along with making nationals, is that you enjoy the experience. Even if you haven't had any prior Whiz Quiz / Academic Decathlon / QuizBowl experience, you can still gain extensive amounts of science-related knowledge by coming to our weekly practices. To make the team, start studying early by reading science textbooks, looking at sample questions, and learning from missed questions. If you feel ready, you can even write your own questions to solidify your familiarity with the question types.

​Below are some great resources for you to explore. We hope to see you at practice!
