Condition: New

Middle School Science Bowl Practice Questions - Volume 1 has 10 full rounds of authentic, realistic practice questions. Each round has 50 questions (25 toss up questions and 25 bonus questions) and is formatted like the official Department of Energy?s Science Bowl questions. The questions are equally distributed over the topic areas of Physical Science, Life Science, Earth and Space Science, Math, and Energy, exactly like the actual competition. This book was written by Alor Sahoo, who is quite familiar with Science Bowl, having participated in it since his sixth-grade year. His team placed ninth and fifth in the National Science Bowl competition in his seventh and eighth-grade years, respectively. He also captained the winning team in his region in his freshman and sophomore year. Alor also placed second in the Southern California MathCounts countdown round, proving his skills in competitions involving buzzers. This book aims to provide clear-cut strategies and a comprehensive set of questions for teams aspiring to succeed at the National Science Bowl, as the sample questions on the Department of Energy?s website are not sufficient. The author hopes that this book provides realistic questions for coaches to help them choose and analyze potential teams. The author also hopes that students can test themselves with this text to give them an edge over the competition when their Science Bowl tryouts start.Overall, Alor hopes that competitors and coaches can have a resource that he himself wishes he had access to when he was preparing for the National Science Bowl in middle school.
