Science Bowl helps students further their interests in science, as well as provide an intellectually stimulating atmosphere to interact productively with other students and communicate ideas effectively. Additionally, Science Bowl encourages students to excel in science and mathematics and pursue careers in those fields.
Program Description: This course aims to prepare students for the Science Bowl competition. It contains both lecture and practice round components. Students will be taught Life Science, Physical Science, Earth Science, Energy, Mathematics, and General Science. The coach will work heavily on reinforcing science knowledge in the listed categories as well as improving buzzing strategies and time management necessary for science bowl.
 
Address: 1340 S. De Anza Blvd., Suite 204, San Jose, CA, 95129
Time: 4/5 to 5/23, Sunday 1:30 to 3:30pm.

为什么要参加春晖的科学杯 Science Bowl 训练班？和学校的Science Bowl team的训练有什么不一样

问：什么是科学杯？为什么要参加sciecne bowl科学杯?

科学杯竞赛由美国能源部（Department of Energy）于1991年创办，旨在鼓励中学生在数学和科学领域的学习和探索，是全美最大型的科学竞赛之一。在过去的22年中，已有超过22万美国学生参加了该比赛。2013年有超过9500名高中生及4500名初中生参加地区比赛，争夺华府决赛资格。

Science Bowl helps students further their interests in science, as well as provide an intellectually stimulating atmosphere to interact productively with other students and communicate ideas effectively. Additionally, Science Bowl encourages students to excel in science and mathematics and pursue careers in those fields.

问：科学杯包括哪些方面？比赛方式？

答：比赛遵循双败淘汰制，比赛中的提问与回答采用口述的形式，节奏紧凑，内容涉猎广泛，涵盖了化学、生物、物理、天文、数学、科学通论和地球科学等学科。

问：春晖的科学杯 Science Bowl 训练班和学校的Science Bowl team的训练有什么不一样？

学校的couch 基本上不教学，仅仅以练习为主。

春晖教育的教学方法是每次2 小时，第一小时是讲课。第二个小时才是学生练习。

第一个小时的授课时间，由两位coach讲解他们精心准备的，经过提炼的一个science 方面的话题。讲解过程中学生需要用心记笔记，因为在随后的一小时练习里老师就是在那个范围里问。

在练习的过程中，老师还不断通过提问题的方式教给学生科学知识。每次下课前会给学生布置一个topic 让他们做research，并写一个报告。在下次上课时的头几分钟请学生上台分享。其他学生同样要记笔记，老师会就分享学生的报告问问题。

问：春晖教育的science bowl的coach 都是高中生。请高中生做coach，他们的责任心够吗？他们自己懂，但会教吗？

答：湾区无论是私立学校还是公立学校，science bowl的team的coach都是高中生。成人老师的coach是领队和负责的角色。这两个coach 他们也是Miller 初中的教练。他们不仅自己有训练经验，有当教练的经验，最主要的是他们非常负责任。每堂2小时的课他们俩都会花超过3小时的时间准备。夏季春晖的科学杯训练营得到了每位学生的好评。

下面是一个全程参加的女孩写的话：

The Science Bowl class covered a variety of different and interesting topics in the general idea of mathematics. The first hour, we introduced ourselves by answering some questions about what we wanted to learn during the class, and got to know our classmates better. Then, we learned about the breakdown of the Science Bowl competition and the basic rules. After that, we learned about the concepts that we would later review in a thrilling game of the actual Science Bowl! We learned so much, including logarithms, basic review of factoring, counting and probability, graphing circles, and the Principle of Inclusion-Exclusion. After, we had a brief break, and then held a couple exciting rounds of the mathematics portion of a simulated game that had actual mathematics questions from previous Science Bowl competitions. Overall, the class was absolutely amazing. I can’t wait until the next session!

至于年轻老师教学效果，请参照：年轻人，高中生可靠吗？可以教学生吗？(1)

春晖教育今年一共请了十几位优秀的年轻人来任教，他们的教学效果，责任心和知识都得到了学生与家长的好评。不少家长说，这些优秀的年轻人还起到了对学生的 role model 的作用。

问：今天Miller 有 Science olympiad 的try out。Science Olympiad和Science bowl 一样吗？

答：不一样。他们从形式，主办机构都完全不同。他们都是初高中都有。

问：不能全程参加，可以报名吗？
答：可以。每次的讲题都是独立的。
位鼓励多多参与，我们给参加5次的，会有10％的折扣；参加10次以上的，10％的折扣。
