Science Olympiad - Region IV - Delta College
Exploring the world of Science!
Science Olympiad is a science education program, created to increase student interest in science and improve the quality of science education. Initiated 28 years ago in Michigan, Science Olympiad is now a National program. Science Olympiad promotes hands-on, problem solving, and skill-building activities in:
- Life, Personal & Social Science
- Earth & Space Science
- Physical Science & Chemistry
- Technology & Engineering
- Inquiry & Nature of Science
The Regional Tournament is an academic interscholastic competition by regional middle & high schools; students compete and showcase their knowledge in science. Region IV Science Olympiad includes Division B (grades 6-9) and Division C (grades 9-12) teams from the following counties: Arenac, Bay, Huron, Midland, Saginaw, Sanilac, and Tuscola. Teams compete in 23 events. The top teams from our Regional tournament continue on to the State Science Olympiad tournament, held at MSU, on April 28, 2012. The National Science Olympiad tournament will be held in Orlando, FL, on May 18-19, 2012.
