Science Spoon!

Science Spoon helps you prepare for the Middle School Science Bowl.

• Just beginning? Start with 10 random round 1&2 questions in study mode.
• Practicing for regionals? Take 10 random round 1-8 questions in competition mode.
• Looking for quick practice? 10 random questions in rapid-fire mode.
• Studying something specific? Search for specific categories. Partial word matching works, so a search for "induct" will return questions referencing induction, inductance, etc.

If you have any suggestions, feel free to send them our way.

Our practice modes:

• Competition Mode: Aims to imitate competitions with a reading speed of 150ms per word. It incorporates "blurts" after buzzing on TOSS-UP questions, so respondents must wait for recognition before answering.
• Rapid-Fire Mode: Our default mode is best for practicing questions quickly. Reading is fast with 100ms between each word and recognition is instant. It's best for practicing many questions quickly, but be careful that the quick pace doesn't train you to blurt!
• Study Mode: This mode displays the full question at the get-go, and you may choose to hide/display the answers below each question, or compile them at the end of the page. This mode is best for review or study printouts as it doesn't track responses or timings.
• Audio Mode: This mode is brand new and currently in Alpha. Questions are read aloud in a Rapid-Fire format rather than being displayed on the screen. This mode will likely only be available to logged-in users after the Alpha period.

We encourage login!

Registration is free! And users that login can see their Rapid-Fire and Competition mode response stats. In particular, ScienceSpoon:

• Lists missed questions for review later.
• Tracks category accuracy to show you your strengths and weaknesses.
• Compares timings with others (coming soon).
