Elementary
Division A Tournaments
For the 21-22 school year, tournaments will look a little different. Students will compete in the test events virtually from their own schools. Building events will be coordinated in a drive-thru setting by appointment.
NCSO’s elementary events align with the NC Standard Course of Study and what teachers are already doing in the classroom. These events are well balanced between the various science disciplines, requiring knowledge of science facts, concepts, processes, skills and applications. Olympic-style medals are awarded to top placing individuals in each event. Team trophies are also awarded to top placing teams at each tournament.
