Helpful Prep Resources
On behalf of the Illinois Science Olympiad, we would like to extend our heartfelt gratitude to the Adlai E. Stevenson High School Science Olympiad team’s students and staff for their generous contribution to a Division B test packet. Their initiative exemplifies the spirit of collaboration and support that the Science Olympiad community prides itself on.
This invaluable resource will undoubtedly be an essential tool for the middle school teams, offering them a glimpse into the competition’s format and the variety of questions they can anticipate. Efforts like these enhance the educational experience for all participants, fostering a deeper understanding and appreciation for the sciences.
We are excited to share this with the Division B teams. We are confident it will play a significant role in their preparation for the state competition.
Thank you once again for your dedication to fostering a rich learning environment and for your significant contribution to the success of the Science Olympiad community. We look forward to witnessing the positive impact this will have on all the young scientists participating.
