Science Olympiad events are designed to use a variety of intellectual and practical skills. Some events call for a quick recall of specific facts, while others require concept development, a process skill, or an application of a specific concept. Some events may require a student or a group of students to work cooperatively to build an apparatus. Points are assessed to each team based on national judging criteria for each event. Ribbons and trophies are presented to the highest scoring teams. The first place state competition team will represent Virginia at the National Competition at the Indiana University, Bloomington campus, on May 19 and 20, 2006.

A team can have no more than 15 members. Each event follows strict national guidelines, which are contained in the Coaches Manual and Rules: Division B (Gr. 6-9) provided by each registered team's coach.
