The Ames Laboratory/Iowa State University Science Bowl

At the Ames Laboratory/Iowa State University Science Bowl, high school students from Iowa test their science knowledge in the annual Regional Science Bowl. In the fast-paced, quiz-bowl style matches, students answer questions from categories, including astronomy, biology, physics, chemistry, earth science, general science and current events in the scientific and technical community.
