Weekly Science Quiz

What the Weekly Science Quiz covers

Science quizzes have a reputation for being either trivially easy or impossibly technical. This weekly round aims for the useful middle: questions a curious adult can reason through, with explanations that teach the underlying principle rather than just naming the right letter.

Each edition draws from physics, chemistry, biology, and earth science, with occasional detours into the history of science — because knowing who discovered something, and how, is often more memorable than the fact itself.

Teachers regularly use short weekly quizzes as retrieval practice. Feel free to project this page in a classroom; the answers stay hidden until each question is played.

Key topics in rotation

Questions in this category regularly draw on: physics, chemistry, biology, scientific method, experiments. Each weekly edition mixes six Science questions with four bonus questions from neighbouring categories, so the round never becomes predictable.
