The Science Bowl is a fast-paced contest in which students answer questions about earth science, physical science, life science, general science and math. A program of the U.S. Department of Energy’s Office of Science, the Science Bowl encourages student involvement in mathematics and science activities, improves awareness of alternative fuel technologies, and provides an avenue of enrichment and reward for academic science achievement.

The top academic team members and their mentor from the event will receive an all- expenses-paid trip to Denver, Colorado, to represent the Southeast region of the United States at the National Middle School Science Bowl competition June 21-24.

Each of the top eight teams will receive a fuel cell car kit. They will have several weeks to construct a hydrogen fuel cell car using the kit and can demonstrate the performance and construction of the vehicles at the EnergyWhiz Olympics at FSEC on May 12.

Participating teams in the Science Bowl will come from the following schools:
Andrew Jackson Middle, Brevard County
Challenger K-8, Hernando County
Deltona Middle, Volusia County
Denn John Middle, Osceola County
Harris County Carver Middle, Harris County, GA
Holy Hill Middle, Volusia County
