What is Knowledge Bowl?  Knowledge Bowl are interdisciplinary academic contests designed for secondary school students in grades 7-12.  During the contest teams answer written and oral questions relating to all areas of their education. Questions test student's recall, problem solving, and critical thinking skills. Students from 7-9 can compete in Junior High competitions, and students from 7-12 can compete in any Senior High competitions. In these competitions teams of students compare answers to fifteen curriculum areas by pressing on pressure sensitive strips when they know the answer. After they "buzz in" they have 15 seconds to discuss their answers before the spokesperson must answer.
