Science Olympiad is an academic competition where teams of 15 students study, build, and compete in 20 different science-based events on February 19, 2010. To participate, students must commit to attending practices 2 times per week for 2 hours after school, once a week during lunch, and studying 2-3 hours at home per week. The $20-25 fee covers costs of the competition, though alternates are not required to pay. Parents must also volunteer on the day of the event and to help with building events. Making it to the state competition requires additional practice until April.
The science which deals with the study of living objects is called Biology. Thus the subject involves the studies of all kinds of micro-organisms, plants and animals. Biology is related to mankind ever since the origin of man, therefore this branch of science stands first in order of studies as compared to other branches of science. Ever since the origin of life man is eager to know about various phenomenon of life processes such as health and disease, birth, growth and death. However, man depends on plants and animals for food, shelter and clothing which are immediate needs of life, come from Biology. Perhaps it was the elementary need of man to know about the living beings, so that maximum benefits can be drawn out of them. Though biology involves study of life, but now a days it is mostly centralised with the study of agriculture, animal husbandry, health and microbiology and related branches. Today study of any branch of science is not possible in isolation as it also involves principles of physics, chemistry and various other branches.
