Division A (Elementary)

Elementary Science Olympiad (ESO) is the perfect complement to any K-6 science program. Support your normal classroom routine with an all-building Science Olympiad Fun Day, or bring in experts and parent volunteers to run a Science Olympiad Fun Night. If you want to develop a feeder program for your district's middle school Science Olympiad program, run a grades 3-6 competitive tournament, just like the older kids, and with many of the same events, just scaled down to size!

Elementary Science Olympiad events take advantage of the natural curiosity of each child, and allow for in-depth hands-on experiences.  These programs are designed to utilize ordinary classroom and household supplies and materials, so your ESO event won't break the bank! ESO content is so wide-ranging that we encourage use in places outside of school -- such as park districts, libraries, nature centers and bookstores.

It is a program that extends and enhances schools' science curriculum to provide activities that meet science educational standards and will create interest in students and provide a basis for renewal among teachers and administrators. It is an excellent public relations project for schools and a method of completely energizing science:
