Many had practiced for the competition for months, in groups and individually. The morning kicked off with a round-robin contest of eight rounds that whittled the teams from 66 to The advancing teams then spent the afternoon competing in a nine-round, double-elimination contest. For each match, teams of four students sat opposite each other, using buzzers to field a variety of science-based questions. The top individual performers in the morning rounds — those who correctly answered the most questions — were recognized as all stars.
Also recognized at the lunch celebration were the winning entrants in the first year of SciClips, a competition sponsored by Google in which competing teams created short videos that expressed their enjoyment of science.
Coaches for the winning teams also received a trophy in the form of an Einstein bobble head. For those teams not advancing into the afternoon rounds, a separate engineering competition designed and conducted by teachers from Lake Oswego Junior High, called Full Blast Dragsters, gave students a chance to test their engineering and design skills in a hands-on project. This helps to ensure a future pool of engineers, scientists and innovators so critical to the energy industry.

It involves a math and science academic competition. Beginning in January , more than 4, students is expected to compete in fifty regional tournaments throughout the nation.
All middle school students who attend school on Long Island and in New York City are eligible and are invited to participate. In the academic competition, teams of middle school students answer questions on scientific topics in earth science, physical science, life science, math, and general science. Teams are comprised of five students one of whom is an alternate and a teacher who acts as an advisor and coach.
The competition consists of a round robin followed by a single elimination final. Questions are in the form of multiple choice and short answer. This competition is suitable for all grade students and teachers interested in mathematics, physics, research, and engineering.
Pre-registration will open Friday, October 1, , pm, which will allow coaches to confirm participation for one team from their school. To finish registration, student names, information and consent forms must be submitted by Wednesday, December 15, , pm or the team will risk forfeiting their spot in the competition. Note: All media releases must be submitted through the National Science Bowl online system.
