Science Bowl Resource Guide

High School National Science Bowl Resource Guide Description This guide was developed accordingly to the subject topics that will show up at the National Science Bowl competition. The required tets are adapted !rom the advanced placement program "or undergraduate studies# and is necessary to gain a basic understanding o! the subject. The supplementary tets were developed according to the international olympiad syllabuses and provides a thorough and in$depth coverage o! the subject matter. %ne o! the required tets will need to be chosen "based on your speciality# and an outline o! a reading schedule produced as a prerequisite to applying !or &niversity High School's science bowl team. (! you !eel that there are any other tets that can cover the same breadth o! the subject matter as the required tets) !eel !ree to use it in replacement. However) create an appropriate reading schedule !or it as well.  * great way way to obtain obtain these tets tets is to choose an an edition or two older older !rom the most recent recent as a used used boo+. These sell !or much cheaper usually ranging !rom ,$- dollars. /on't waste money buying the newer editions) as they contain almost eactly the same in!ormation as well as the same diagrams.
