The Science Bowl is a fast-paced academic competition that offers teams of high school students from across the state of Tennessee a chance to match their wits in math and science. The winner of the Tennessee Science Bowl will advance to the National Science Bowl® in Washington, D.C., on April 26-30, 2012, all expenses paid!
Each competing team may consist of four or five team members (only four will be playing at any time) and a coach.

The second-place school will receive $750.00.
