National Geography Bee

Do you know which state is the largest? What ocean current drives ships between Europe and the Americas? What about which present day county is home to the ruins of Persepolis?

The National Geography Bee presented by National Geographic tests students from across the nation and the world in their geographic knowledge. The questions as you can see above are much more than simply knowing where a state or country is but also understanding parts of how the world works and the ways different regions relate to one another.

Whether you are a parent, teacher, or GIS professional the ability to identify where you are in the world and analyze relationships is key to better understand how everything works together. Explore the NGB website and take quizzes to see how your geography knowledge ranks up against people from all over the world and explore many different resources for parents and teachers.

If you are a teacher or a parent and want to learn more or get your school involved the deadline to get your school registered is fast approaching. Click here to go to the National Geography Bee home page for information on how to get your school registered to compete!!!
