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:
“To treat a “big” subject in the intensely summarized fashion demanded by an evening’s traffic of the stage when the evening, freely clipped at each end, is reduced to two hours and a half, is a feat of which the difficulty looms large.”
—Henry James (1843–1916)
“Adults understandably assume that the level of verbal proficiency a five-year-old displays represents his level of proficiency in all areas of functioning—if he talks like an adult, he must think and feel like one. However, five-year-olds,... belie the promise of adult-like behavior with their child-like, impulsive actions.”
—Dorothy H. Cohen (20th century)
