Subject Areas
For the 2011 Science Bowl, a new energy topic has been added to the subject categories. Additionally, Earth Science and Astronomy have been combined into "Earth and Space Science", and General Science has been eliminated for high school. High school questions are now asked in the categories entitled Chemistry, Biology, Physics, Mathematics, Energy, and "Earth and Space Science". Middle school questions are asked in the categories Physical Science, Life Science, Mathematics, Energy, General Science, and Earth and Space Science. In late 2002, Computer Science was dropped as an official category; questions relating to computer science are now asked under either General Science or Mathematics. The National Science Bowl organization announced the addition of a category for Current Events for the 2005 National Competition, though this category was dropped for the 2006 and 2007 National Competitions.

Famous quotes containing the words subject and/or areas:
“It is the mark of an educated man to look for precision in each class of things just so far as the nature of the subject admits; it is evidently equally foolish to accept probable reasoning from a mathematician and to demand from a rhetorician demonstrative proofs.”
—Aristotle (384–323 B.C.)
“If a walker is indeed an individualist there is nowhere he can’t go at dawn and not many places he can’t go at noon. But just as it demeans life to live alongside a great river you can no longer swim in or drink from, to be crowded into safer areas and hours takes much of the gloss off walking—one sport you shouldn’t have to reserve a time and a court for.”
—Edward Hoagland (b. 1932)
