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:
“Give me a thrill, says the reader,
Give me a kick;
I don’t care how you succeed, or
What subject you pick.”
—Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
“The point is, that the function of the novel seems to be changing; it has become an outpost of journalism; we read novels for information about areas of life we don’t know—Nigeria, South Africa, the American army, a coal-mining village, coteries in Chelsea, etc. We read to find out what is going on. One novel in five hundred or a thousand has the quality a novel should have to make it a novel—the quality of philosophy.”
—Doris Lessing (b. 1919)
