About Wyoming Science Olympiad
|
The Wyoming Science Olympiad (WYSO) is an academic interscholastic
competition, designed to increase student interest in science and improve
the quality of science education. The Science Olympiad tournament consists
of approximately twenty three separate events in each of two divisions
(B=Junior High, C=High School) which require an individual or group
from each team for competition. Competitive teams will require knowledge
obtained in the classroom and/or additional preparation for successful
completion of each event.

The events are both fun and challenging and often very
motivational. The concepts and topics for the events are balanced between
Science facts, Science Concepts, Process skills, and Technical application.
Although the Science Olympiad is a competitive activity, most events
are team competitions which require teamwork and cooperation. The emphasis
is on inquiry learning, participation, interaction, and having fun.
