"The Kids’ Science Challenge" nationwide competition for 3rd to 6th graders

Here is a fun opportunity for young 4-H members:

"Kids are encouraged to learn about four fun scientific fields and then submit a question, problem, or experiment to be solved, working together with a scientist or engineer. The scientific fields are: flavor science, water quality, skateboard engineering, and the search for extraterrestrial intelligence (SETI). Winners will receive a trip to visit the scientists to work collaboratively on their question, problem or experiment, and will be featured on Pulse of the Planet radio programs and podcasts.

The first 1000 kids to enter the competition will receive free science activity kits (a portion of these have been set aside for 4-H applicants).

As a special incentive to 4-H group leaders, the mentors for the next ten team entries to the competition will receive a free Hach water testing kit for additional science learning activities, and each kid on the teams will receive an individual bonus prize!"
