Science Bee
Introduction
The National Science Bee is a buzzer-based quiz competition for elementary through high school students in America. Among the topics it tests are biology, chemistry, physics, earth science, astronomy, computer science, and mathematics. It is organized by International Academic Competitions and follows a format similar to the National History Bee and US History Bee, among others. The National Science Bee is rapidly expanding and now hosts Varsity and Junior Varsity divisions, in addition to Middle and Elementary School divisions.
What’s this game all about?
A Science Bee is a competition in which contestants are asked to spell a broad selection of words, usually with a varying degree of difficulty. To compete, contestants must memorize the spellings of words as written in dictionaries, and recite them accordingly.
The concept is thought to have originated in the United States, and spelling bee events, along with variants, are now also held in some other countries around the world. Because most languages have a more predictable spelling system than English, spelling bees are common only in countries where English is spoken.[
