About the Science Olympiad
A Science Olympiad consists of different events where students take an active role in exploring science topics related to the school’s science curriculum. The events can be scheduled to occur as half-day up to three-day competitions. The length of the Science Olympiad should be based on the needs and curriculum of the school.
One of the goals of the ESSOP is the application of science and other skills to correlated events that are enjoyable and provide a variety of real-world experiences. The program helps students of all abilities succeed in science. It is designed for students in grades 4 through 6; however, it can be adapted to include lower grade levels.
Each event, either competitive or non-competitive in design, meets the current National Science Standards, as well as the Science Standards set by the Pennsylvania Department of Education.
