Description:
 Presented as challenges, the Science-athon offers elementary and middle-grade students opportunities to participate with other students as they explore the science in their daily lives. The challenges, which include detailed procedures and suggestions for analysis, are delivered from the Science-athon web site. As part of each investigation, class data is submitted to a central database, and student-generated data is used in the exploration of questions.
