About Washtenaw Elementary Science Olympiad
WHAT IS SCIENCE OLYMPIAD?
- Tournament with events designed to recognize a wide variety of student skills
- Some require knowledge of scientific facts and concepts
- Some rely on scientific processes, skills, or applications
- Ensures that everyone can participate
- The main goal is to learn about science through active, hands-on, group participation.
- Science Olympiad is built upon cooperative learning
- Most of the events involve teamwork, group planning, and cooperation
- Cooperation and teamwork, practice toward an objective, and learning made exciting through motivational activities are essential
- Extra-curricular training and accomplishments show noticeable predictive power of later adult performance, achievement, and accomplishments [Taylor CW (1959), Univ. of Utah]
- Many MSO events build on similar ideas and topics as WESO
