Quiz Bee Challenge Questions cover many topical areas. This brief list is provided to give players and player coaches a preliminary look at areas from which questions will be drawn. The “baseline” for difficulty of the questions is information that students entering high school should have mastered upon completion of their primary school education as well as information derived from their relative areas of interest. Questions are also designed to provoke curiosity amongst students and expose them to information that they would not necessarily get exposed to in your typical classroom set up.
