For students in Grades 1 through 3
Kick off date: September15, 2008
In an effort to provide you with extra educational opportunities this fall, I am hosting an Online Math and Science Bee. Tailored to students in the 1st through 3rd grades, this Online Math and Science Bee is comprised of a ten week competition in you, along with your parents, can test your skills in math and science.
Starting on September 15th, a new series of Math and Science questions will be posted on the Web site each Monday, and each subsequent Monday will feature new questions and the previous week’s answers. You are encouraged to use any resources they choose to help answer each week’s questions correctly such as textbooks, the internet, the library, or teachers. Upon completion of the ten week Online Math and Science Bee, a link will be added for you to print and personalize you own Congressional Certificate of Participation.
