2026 Division B Events
Alaska Science Olympiad 2026 events are in the selection process and this menu will be updated soon.
Participants will be assessed on their understanding of the anatomy and physiology
for the nervous, special senses, and endocrine systems of the human body.
Teams will cryptanalyze and decode encrypted messages using cryptanalysis
techniques for historical and modern advanced ciphers.
Participants will use their investigative skills in the scientific study of
disease, injury, health, and disability in populations or groups of people.
Prior to the tournament, teams will construct, collect data on test flights,
analyze and optimize free flight rubber-powered helicopters to achieve maximum time
aloft.
One participant will write a description of an object and how to build it.
The other participant will attempt to construct the object from this description.
Participants will be assessed on their understanding and evaluation of freshwater
aquatic environments.
Participants will demonstrate their knowledge of planet formation and structure
within and beyond the Solar System.
Participants will use scientific process skills involving qualitative and quantitative
analyses to demonstrate an understanding of the factors that influence Everyday Weather
through the interpretation of meteorological data, graphs, charts and images.
Prior to the competition, participants will design, construct, and calibrate
a self-propelled air-levitated vehicle that moves down a track.
Teams design, build, and test a mechanical device, which uses the energy from
a falling mass to transport an egg along a track as quickly as possible and stop as
close to the center of a Terminal Barrier without breaking the egg.
Teams will design and build a cantilevered beam or truss structure that extends
from a vertical Testing Wall and supports a load at a specified distance from the
Testing Wall. The structure must met the requirements specified in these rules to
achieve the highest score, which is a combination of structural efficiency and Load
Scored Bonus.
