Science Olympiad Regionals :::
LT Science Olympians head to state tourney
Identifying leaf and fossil specimens, sketching imaginary river systems, and creating chemical reactions are just a few of the typical items at a Science Olympiad competition. Lyons Township High School Science Olympians took 3rd place at the recent Regional contest, earning a spot at the upcoming state competition.
The Science Olympiad is designed to be a hands-on event that encompasses all areas of science in the same competition. Biology, chemistry, earth science, and physics are emphasized with engineering and technology applications that combine several of these disciplines. The range of testing modes includes everything from paper/pencil tests to lab practical-type events to design and building devices that require the students to calibrate devices to accomplish a goal before competition.
