American public schools traditionally teach biology in the first year of high school, chemistry in the second, and physics in the third. The belief is that this order is more accessible, largely because biology can be taught with less mathematics, and will do the most toward providing some scientific literacy for the largest number of students.

A science fair or engineering fair is an event hosted by a school that offers students the opportunity to experience the practices of science and engineering for themselves. In the United States, the Next Generation Science Standards makes experiencing the practices of science and engineering one of the three pillars of science education.
Membership is open to students in their sophomore, junior, or senior year of high school who have taken at least two honors science classes. [8] Potential members must have a cumulative B+ average or a 3.5-grade point average in their science classes. [8]
Physics outreach encompasses facets of science outreach and physics education, and a variety of activities by schools, research institutes, universities, clubs and institutions such as science museums aimed at broadening the audience for and awareness and understanding of physics. While the general public may sometimes be the focus of such ...
Physics (PHY) – The study of matter and motion. This includes, but is not limited to projects involving the traditional subsets of physics (i.e. statics, dynamics, optics, acoustics, heat and electricity) and applied physics (i.e. mechanical, electrical, and civil engineering). Zoology (ZOO) – The study of animals. This includes, but is not ...
Physics education research (PER) is a form of discipline-based education research specifically related to the study of the teaching and learning of physics, often with the aim of improving the effectiveness of student learning.
The Regeneron International Science and Engineering Fair (ISEF) is an annual science fair in the United States. [1] It is owned and administered by the Society for Science, [2] a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization based in Washington, D.C. [3] Each May, more than 1800 students from roughly 75 countries and territories compete in the fair for scholarships, tuition grants, internships, scientific ...
