Bee
The National Geographic Bee is a nationwide
contest for schools in the United States, and is a program of the National
Geographic Society. It is conducted in English and open to students in grades
four through eight who are not over the age of 15. The Bee is designed to
encourage the teaching and study of geography. Questions at all three levels of
competition address the subject of geography in its broadest sense. The format
calls for brief answers usually only a word or a phrase. Questions my require
interpretation of maps, graphs, and photographs. Maps have played a key role in
the Bee throughout its 20-year history. Atlases and maps are essential study
tools. Woodland has been a part of the Bee process since 2000. Every year we
have had our champion advance to the State Level. Two years in a row our entry
came in second in the State. Sign-ups occur in November through the social
studies classes. If necessary, qualifying tests are given in December and the
Geography Bee is held the second or third week in January. For additional
