The Great Lakes Bowl - Ann Arbor 2-4-12

ISEA's Tom Kelly assisted with the Great Lakes Science Bowl on Saturday.  High School teams from Michigan competed in very tough competition for a chance to go to the National Ocean Science Bowl. The Great Lakes Science Bowl was held at the S. T. Dana Building, home of the School of Natural Resources and Environment.

The NOSB is a nationwide academic competition among teams of high school students. Regional competitions are held around the U.S. in February and March with the final National Competition held in April. The NOSB tests students' math and science skills as applied to topics on ocean (and Great Lakes) biology, chemistry, geology, physics, technology, history, and economics. Information about NOSB is available online to help students and teachers prepare for the competition: http://www.nosb.org/
