DOE’s National Science Bowl is a nationwide academic competition testing students’ knowledge in all areas of science, mathematics, and energy. The fast-paced, question-and-answer format covers a range of science disciplines including biology, chemistry, earth science, physics, energy, and math.
DOE created the National Science Bowl in 1991 to encourage students to excel in mathematics and science, and pursue careers in those fields. Approximately 240,000 students have participated in this event since its inception, making it one of the nation’s largest science competitions.
