This video is intended to promote with school administrators, teachers, and parents the Science Olympics competition as a means of engaging elementary students in hands-on science activities. The program is based on images and interviews recorded at St. Mary's University, Halifax, during the 2007 Nova Scotia Science Olympics. It features the remarks of students, a parent volunteer, a Science Olympic judge, and a classroom teacher, all of whom variously address the value of Science Olympics as a complement to the elementary science curriculum.
