Opportunity to participate in History, Science or Geography Bee
This year, we’re excited to offer students the opportunity to participate in the Utah Regional Finals for the National History Bee, National Science Bee and International Geography Bee which will be held on April 8 in the Salt Lake City area. There are 2 age groups for students at our school: elementary (4th grade and lower) and middle school (5th and 6th grade). To qualify to participate in the regional competition in Salt Lake, students take a free, online, 20-minute, 50 question multiple-choice test.
Students are encouraged to choose ONE subject area to focus on. Test preparation is done independently and students will take the online qualifying tests after school on March 20 or 21 or online.
To access practice tests you can use the following links:
To gauge student interest, please complete the online form for each student interested in participating.
