Thank you for completing this short application. I understand that the above information is accurate to the best of my knowledge. Placement on Varsity and JV teams will be determined by mid to late September when Science Olympiad releases the event schedule.

What events would you like to do? Number the boxes 1-3 (1 being your number 1 choice) for EACH time period (Period A, B, C, and D). This will give us an idea of which team (Varsity or JV) to place you in and if we have space. Because only 2-3 people can participate in each event, if 10 people select Materials Science as number 1 choice, some will be given their next choice. Period A 2 Experimental Design (3) Forensics Entomology 1 Write It, Do It Complex Machines (CST) 3 Boomilever (CST) Period B 2 Disease Detectives 3 Materials Science * Rocks + Minerals Circuit Lab Bottle Rocket (CST) Period C Astronomy 1 Chemistry Lab 2 Designer Genes 3 Green Generation Water Quality Elastic Glider (CST) Period D Anatomy and Physiology Dynamic Planets Mystery Architecture 2 Geologic 3 Scrambler (CST) 1 Mission Possible (3)(CST)

(3) = Up to three people may work on this event (CST) = Construction Event Choose as many events as you would like and we hope to give you all your number 1 choices but please do not disappointing with your 2nd or 3rd because some events may have more applicants. NOTE: Put a Star INSTEAD of a 1 besides the event that is your most FAVORITE event that you either have great experience in it or just have a heartfelt desire to do it. NOTE: For filling the final 4-6 Varsity team spots, we will look into which people are interested in the events we have available in additional to the traditional factors. For example, if you are interested in doing Anatomy, Astronomy, or Chemistry Lab, you will most likely be placed in a Junior Varsity Team in order to get to compete in one of those events. Please take this into consideration on which events interest you most. Varsity members will be announced & finalized by mid-Late September. Until then, all members will attend meetings as JV. The coaches and officers will evaluate and observe until mid-September so impressions count!
