National Science Bowl (NSB)

The National Science Bowl (NSB) is a high school and middle school science knowledge competition using a quiz bowl format held in the United States. A buzzer system like those seen on popular television game shows is used to signal an answer.

NSB teams are formed through rank testing at school. Students take exams in different subject areas. The top students are then selected for positions on the teams. If throughout the year a student drops from a team, the next ranked student will be offered their position. 

Test papers are prepared by EHS volunteer coaches and selected from NSB sample question bank with different difficulties. To get prepared for the qualifier test, please click here for the NSB sample questions.

Based on written qualifier results, the top 3 teams will participate in regional NSB challenge in Portland. A team consists of 4 students.
