South Region Competition

March 18, 2009

Little Ocmulgee State Park

The Envirothon is a hands-on, high school academic competition on the environment. Skills and knowledge will be tested in outdoor environments such as a nature center, camp, forest, or park. There are two levels of competition, the regional competition, a one day format, and the state competition, a 2-day format. Testing at both competitions involves visiting five stations, one for each study unit, located within easy walking distance from other stations at the competition site. Teams move between competition sites in groups, usually four to five teams per group. At each station site, team examinations are administered by the station coordinator. Tests contain many question formats including narrative responses, true/false, fill in the blanks, multiple choice, and matching. Teams may also be given a brief presentation by the station coordinator on ecosystem issues important to that station. Teams have 45 minutes per station except at the state presentation station which is generally 20 minutes.
