Science Bee Preparation - 2010 Regionals

Four different branches of Science will be tested - Earth & Space, Life Sciences, Physical Sciences and Science Inquiry. The syllabus for the Science Bee is included at the end of this booklet. This syllabus includes a comprehensive list of topics, sub-topics and the science vocabulary words the students will be expected to know. While most of the fielded questions will touch upon the topics listed in the syllabus, question papers may also incorporate a few challenging questions that go beyond factual knowledge but, instead, require interpretation.

Listed below are several sources students can consult to learn about Science and to prepare for the Science Bee:

  1. http://www.harcourtschool.com   This is a good free website with lots of visually presented science topics arranged by grade level. This constitutes a good website to begin with.
  2. Your school textbook. Since the syllabus drawn up for this Bee closely parallels textbooks used in US schools, the textbooks that students use in their own schools are likely to constitute excellent study resources for the Bee.
