Reminder AAPT/Metrologic Physics Bowl



*************REMINDER**********************

Physics Bowl Application Deadline is March 31.

Metrologic has increased the number and amount of awards available this year. For the first time, ten $1,000 scholarships will be awarded to the top scoring students in the nation. In addition, sixty $100 scholarships will be awarded to the top two students in each division. All participating students will be recognized with a certificate from AAPT and Metrologic Instruments.

The team competition is held in 15 regions, each with two divisions. Division I is for students in a first-year physics course; Division II is for students in a second-year physics course. A school's score in a division is the sum of the four highest student
scores in that division. To compete in a division, a school must have at least four students participating. A school may compete in either or both divisions, provided that it has at least four eligible students participating in each division. Specialized science and math high schools and last year's winners compete in separate regions. The top school in each region will receive a $1,000 certificate for Metrologic educational equipment.
