What is Science Olympiad?
Science Olympiad is a nationwide competition that engages students in hands-on, team-based STEM learning. At Lyons Farm, Science Olympiad is an opportunity for 5th graders to dive deeper into science beyond the classroom. Students work in small groups to explore topics in biology, chemistry, physics, earth science, engineering, and technology. Throughout the year, they prepare for events that range from designing and building structures, to conducting experiments, to solving real-world scientific problems.

What volunteers can expect.
Mrs. Lewis and Ms. Del Verne are excited to expand our 5th Grade Science Olympiad this year. With our expected student numbers growing, we’re hoping to put out a call for volunteers to support weekly practices on Thursdays after school, 2:45PM–4:00 PM, from November through April.

We’d love help from:

Folks working in or passionate about the sciences (STEM fields welcome!)
Parents/guardians or community members who enjoy hands-on projects, organizing materials, or mentoring small groups
Anyone enthusiastic about encouraging curious 5th graders

Volunteers could help with things like supervising stations, timing events, offering content expertise, and supporting build-and-test activities. Even joining every other week would be a big help.
