Every year, thousands of students enter the Discovery Education 3M Young Scientist Challenge by taking the science they've learned in class and applying it to everyday life, all the while showcasing their enthusiasm for science.

And if you're looking for an incentive to get your students interested in participating, there are great prizes at stake - including $25,000, amazing adventure trips, and more!

Below you'll find materials regarding the Discovery Education 3M Young Scientist Challenge to share with fellow teachers, your students and their parents.
