They had five rounds of questions referring to these academic categories; Literature/Language Arts-Novels, Spelling, Grammar and Languages. Social Science-World History, World Geography, and Government. Science- Biology, Chemistry, Earth Science, and Anatomy. Math-General math, Geometry, Algebra and Calculus. Potpourri- Music, Theater, Television, Sports/Games, and General Knowledge. “Our students were engaged in an academic Quiz Bowl that challenged our Rolling Valley Conference which also opened the tournament to other schools from Ankeny to Sioux City Schools!
