Biology
PlannedCells, genetics, physiology, ecology, and evolution, with the reasoning that connects structure to function.
Adaptive preparation for science competitors is coming soon.
Strengthen the concepts, calculations, and connections that help you work through challenging questions.
AccelaStudy® AI Science Competitions is planned for students preparing for the National Science Bowl® and for Science Olympiad knowledge events. $39/yr or $4.99/mo at launch.
Sample Preview
An original multiple-choice question with choices labeled W, X, Y, and Z, the way Science Bowl labels them.
Choose an answer, then reveal the reasoning.
Sample question: physics and astronomy
Sample PreviewA satellite moves in a circular orbit around a planet. If it is moved to a circular orbit with four times the radius, by what factor does its orbital period change?
Kepler’s third law: for orbits around the same body, the square of the period is proportional to the cube of the radius, T2 ∝ r3.
Multiply the radius by 4 and r3 grows by 43 = 64, so T2 grows by 64 and the period grows by √64 = 8.
Y, 8. One trip around the larger orbit takes 8 times as long.
Each wrong choice matches a slip: W takes the square root of 4, X assumes the period grows like the radius, and Z squares it. The planned explanations are designed to name the slip, not just the answer.
Sample Preview: an original question written for this page. It doesn’t record answers or keep score, and it isn’t taken from any competition.
Planned Coverage
Six planned areas of coverage for knowledge and reasoning.
Practice in each will follow what you’re ready to learn next.
Cells, genetics, physiology, ecology, and evolution, with the reasoning that connects structure to function.
Atomic structure, bonding, reactions, stoichiometry, and equilibrium, with the calculations worked out step by step.
Motion, forces, energy, waves, electricity, and magnetism, from the concepts to the equations.
Rocks and minerals, plate tectonics, weather and climate, and the oceans.
The solar system, stars, galaxies, and the physical laws that govern them, like the orbit question above.
Exponents, scientific notation, units, proportional reasoning, and the algebra that science questions lean on.
What It Will Cover
Here is what the planned product is for, and what it won’t pretend to do.
The initial emphasis
The concepts, calculations, and connections that National Science Bowl questions and Science Olympiad’s Core Knowledge events reward: knowing the science, and reasoning through a question you haven’t seen before.
What online practice can’t replace
Science Olympiad also has Build, Laboratory/Hands-On, and Hybrid events. Designing and testing a device, or working through a hands-on task at a tournament, takes real materials and practice that online study doesn’t replace. The planned product won’t cover every event, and it won’t stand in for that work.
How It Will Work
The planned product is built on the AccelaStudy AI adaptive learning engine.
Here is what that is designed to mean on an ordinary practice day.
A short mix of questions across the sciences shows which topics are solid and which need work.
Sessions focus on the concepts and calculations you’re ready to learn, instead of the ones you’ve mastered.
The explanation shows which step went wrong, like squaring a ratio that should have been raised to the 3/2 power.
Related ideas from other subjects come next, and what you’ve learned returns for review before it fades.
Who It’s For
Build depth across the sciences on your own schedule, with practice aimed at what you need to learn next.
Each student’s practice is designed to adapt on its own, so meeting time can go to labs, builds, and strategy. Team and classroom options have not been announced.
A focused way for your student to keep building knowledge between meets, with explanations that teach the reasoning.
A resource for students who want to go further in science than the class schedule allows.
