Science Honor Society

Pre-College Issues High School Life

<p>A friend and I are planning on starting a Science Honor Society next year. Do any of ya'll have this club at school? What are some of the things you do in this club? I need ideas.</p>

<p>This is what I have so far:
Requirements:
A average in all science courses with honors point
Essay
reccomendations</p>

<p>Stuff to do:
tutoring
guest speakers maybe
have students competing in science fair or junior academy share their research
Anyone know how to get their school involved in Science Bowl?</p>

<p>I've never heard of such a club. Sounds cool though, like Science Olympiad! It sounds really elitist, though. Do you have a lot of science-oriented types who would be vying to get in? My school's pretty small, public, and wouldn't have nearly enough interesting people like that.</p>

<p>No, eliminate the A average requirement and the recommendations. Sounds so elitist. We don't need another honor society...</p>

<p>But the Science Olympiad thing sounds nice, I just think you could do all the tutoring and guest speakers and competitions without having to have the GPA requirement.</p>

<p>hey imacrazyscientist...I am trying to found that too (need a school board vote and im good to go). You should check the website...they have samplings of what other schools do. I think the people in the society have to do some type of research..read the constitution of the society on their site for clarification.</p>

<p>so science olympiad is science bowl...What's the site english 5?</p>

<p>the constitution of the SNHS requires students to have atleast a B+ average across the science classes they are taking, i think.</p>

<p>personally i don't think the essay and rec letter are necessary.</p>

<p>I think you should have a GPA requirement, especially if you want to have like competitions. A average, in my mind, isn't asking too much.</p>

Are you being serious? Isn't asking for much? Then your school must hand out A's like it's nobody's business.</p>

<p>I think its dumb. Just because not all people could join. Even though some people might be smart and have a D in English but A's in science doesnt mean that their bad in science.</p>

<p>I would only want the best joining, if it was to be involved in competition. A's aren't given out easily, and in fact take work to attain. I just think if you are dedicated, evident through your studies, then you should be part of the club.</p>

<p>If you had all read the post more closely, it says A average in SCIENCE. If you are interested in science enough to join this kind of organization, you should be getting As in science classes anyway...</p>

<p>Oh, as for science bowl, check the website (google science bowl, i dont remember the site) and look for a regional location near you. Find the contact info of the coordinator at the competition and ask them how to register and when you have to turn in forms, etc. The web site also has practice questions, some forms, and schematics for the lock out system (if you want to make your own...). I love science bowl...</p>
