The Department of Energy's National Science Bowl® is a highly publicized academic competition among teams of high school students who answer questions on scientific topics in astronomy, biology, chemistry, mathematics, physics, earth, computer and general science. The teams are comprised of five students and a teacher who serves as an advisor and coach. The competition consists of a round robin followed by a double elimination final. The questions are multiple choice and short answer in the categories of chemistry, biology, physics, mathematics, astronomy, and general, earth, and computer science.
Prizes are awarded to the top teams, and the winning team is invited to participate in the National Science Bowl. The NSB web site provides information for students, coaches, and volunteers.

On Jan. 28th, Give Blood -- It's Not Rocket Science!
Give Blood - It's Not Rocket Science!
NASA has an agency-wide Day of Remembrance every January to pause and reflect on the tragic loss of the crews of Apollo 1, space shuttles Challenger and Columbia, and all of those who have given their lives in the cause of exploration.
The nation will never forget Jan. 28, 1986, nor its indelible images. On this solemn day, we join the NASA family and all Americans in honoring the brave men and women who gave their lives in the pursuit of space exploration. We honor their memory by dedicating ourselves to a better tomorrow.
Giving blood is making a small sacrifice. The men and women who lost their lives in the name of space exploration helped get us to this day, and it is our duty to honor them the way they would have wanted to be honored – by focusing our sights on the next horizon, and inspiring the next generation of explorers as we venture farther into space than we have ever gone before
