The National Science Teachers Association and National Sleep Foundation are sponsoring the Bright Schools Competition for teams of two to four students in Grades 6-8.  The goal is to explore the correlation between light and sleep using scientific inquiry or engineering design concepts.  Each team, under the direction of an adult coach, will conduct research and submit its project (which can be a prototype, an awareness campaign, or a research proposal) by January 29.  Registration is free.  Lesson plans are provided.  Awards will be presented to winning student teams and teachers.  For more information, contact brightschoolscompetition@nsta.org.
