Trivia Tuesday: did you know that on this day in 1835, the HMS Beagle with Charles Darwin on board, reached the Galapagos Islands? Darwin’s work is legendary, but almost as legendary is Harriet, a Galapagos Turtle who was noted to have lived during that timeframe and later passed away at a whopping 176 years of age in 2006. Each island in the Galapagos had their own subspecies at one point, but many are now extinct. Conservationists are doing their best to keep what few species are alive around, as the observations of said turtles are the foundations of the theory of evolution. Knowing about the Galapagos could come in handy if you are playing in a Red Set event! Make sure you check out the study guide pages at https://www.iacompetitions.com/study-guides/. #studyguides #sciencebee #geographybee #historybee

Today marks the 25th anniversary of when the world changed forever. Because everyone has their own story to tell about that day, we thought we would approach this a little differently with a question to think about. How do you commemorate 9/11? We understand some people light Yahrzeit candles, some visit the memorials in NYC, DC or Pennsylvania, and others take some time to reflect on those they may have lost on the planes, at the Pentagon, or in the Twin Towers. Let us know in the comments how you mark this day. #9/11 #thedaytheworldstoodstill #history
Gifted teachers! Are you looking for exciting enrichment opportunities for your bright young scholars? We’ve got just the programs for you! Our National History Bee, National Geography Bee and National Science Bee are great programs for kids who need a positive outlet for their competitive energy. Instead of racing to the answer in the classroom, they can race to the buzzer to win titles at the regional, national and even in international competitions! To learn more about how to get started, email our Outreach team at outreach@iacompetitions.com to get the information on what we offer, how we can help you get started, and more! #historybee #geographybee #sciencebee #giftedteachers #giftedstudents

Trivia Tuesday: As most IAC fans know, we are all about trivia and fun facts. To kick off the new season, we want to post a fun or unique trivia fact each week for everyone to enjoy! Let’s get things started with Science, our fastest growing subject in the Online Regional Qualifying exams! Did you know, you can see Jupiter’s biggest moons with only binoculars? Can you imagine? During a clear viewing window, anyone with a set of binoculars can not only see Jupiter, but Ganymede, which is a moon that is larger than the planet Mercury, as well as Callisto and Io! #sciencebee #quizbowl #triviatuesday
Motivation/Materials Monday: Our team often gets asked for materials we love in addition to the study guides and Quizvidya. Did you know we have a whole list of recommended books? Visit https://www.iacompetitions.com/resources/recommendations/ to see some of our top recommendations, as proven by the photo of our social media coordinator’s bookcase! The link above also has direct links on the page to order the books for yourself. And don’t forget to check out @thehistorytravelguy on instagram and their blog, a great resource for information on historical sites and more! #materialsmonday #books #bookgram
It was on this date in 1957 that the Governor of Arkansas, Orval Faubus, called in the National Guard to prevent nine Black students from entering Little Rock Central High. President Dwight D. Eisenhower ordered the National Guard to be federalized, thus taking them out of the Governor’s control, and ordered the Army to support the integration of the school. He used the ruling of Brown vs. Board of Education to make sure all schools were integrated, even if it meant using martial law. This school still stands today, as seen in this photo from National Director of Outreach John Garner from his recent trip to talk to the Little Rock School District gifted teachers. How could any history lover pass up an opportunity to check out a site of living history? Little Rock is also the home to one of a couple Arkansas tournaments this year, with January 9th on the books for Science/Geography/History Bee. To check out other sites we have on the schedule, visit https://www.iacompetitions.com/registration/#ems and see what other historical sites are nearby your local tournament locations! #sciencebee #geographybee #historybee #historybowl quizbowl
