WELCOME to 2007Montana Science OlympiadThe Montana Science Olympiad is 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. The
Science/Math Resource Center at Montana State University in Bozeman hosted
Montana's 23rd Science Olympiad on Tuesday, November 20, 2007.
The Science Olympiad goals are accomplished through the dedication of
Montana Science teachers and parents who organize classroom
activities, research, and after school training clubs. A main
focus of our competition is to elevate science education and
learning to a level of enthusiasm and support that is normally
reserved only for varsity sports programs.
The Science Olympiad tournaments are rigorous academic
interscholastic competitions that consist of a series of
individual and team events, which students prepare for
during the year. The competitions follow the format of
popular board games, TV shows and athletic games. These
challenging and motivational events are well balanced
between the various science disciplines of biology,
earth science, chemistry, physics, computers and technology.
There is also a balance between events requiring knowledge
of science facts, concepts, processes, skills and science
applications. In addition, Josh organized a special event featuring the
science of Alternative Vehicles and Alternative Fuels. Demonstrations
were conducted by MSU faculty, graduate students, local scientists and business people.
This special feature allowed middle school and high school students,
parents and teachers the opportunity to become familiar with
campus opportunities for researching alternative fuels as well as
alternative vehicles available.
