This section contains information about various biological Olympiads taking place both in Russia and abroad. This information can be useful both for schoolchildren and their mentors.
Information about the Olympiads is presented in two versions:
Brief- only a brief description of the Olympiad and a link to the official website are given
Detailed- descriptions, tasks of the Olympiad for different years and lists of winners are presented (only for the All-Russian, International Olympiads and Olympiads of the Kirov LMS)
In order to promptly receive information about updates to this section of the site to your email address
The Olympiad is held by the Ministry of Education and local education authorities throughout Russia. Currently, the Olympiad includes 4 stages: school, municipal (city), regional (regional) and final. Winners and prize-winners of the final stage in the 11th grade receive the right to be admitted without exams to any university in the country in the faculty of biology. The Russian national team for the International Biological Olympiad is also formed from the winners of the final stage. The Olympics are one of the oldest and most widespread biological competitions in Russia.
The International Biology Olympiad (IBO) is the highest competition among high school students from different countries. Each of the participating countries sends four students from among the winners of the corresponding national competitions (for the Russian Federation this is the Final stage of the All-Russian Olympiad for Schoolchildren in Biology).
Traditionally, at the beginning and at the end of each shift of the FMS, the Introductory and Final Olympiads are held, consisting of test and practical tasks. Test tasks from these Olympiads are of a fairly high level of complexity and can be useful for preparing for the regional and final stages of the All-Russian Biological Olympiad.
The Summer Biology Olympiad takes place in early July; schoolchildren in grades 7-11, as well as students from universities in Russia and the CIS countries, can participate in it. The Olympics are held via the Internet in one test round. The tasks of the Olympiad are of a fairly high level, because... they are formed on the basis of the tasks of the Introductory Olympiad of the Kirov Summer Multidisciplinary School (where many prize-winners and winners of the Final stage of the All-Russian Olympiad for schoolchildren in biology are trained). Participation in the Olympiad will be useful as training for upcoming performances at the All-Russian Olympiad. Registration for the Summer Olympics begins every year in mid-April.
The All-Siberian Physics and Mathematics Olympiad for Schoolchildren was organized in 1962 on the initiative of Academician M.A. Lavrentieva. According to the Decision of the Russian Council of Olympiads for Schoolchildren, the All-Siberian Open Olympiad for Schoolchildren is included in the List of Olympiads for schoolchildren for 2009/2010 in mathematics (2nd level), physics (2nd level), chemistry (3rd level), biology (3rd level) and computer science (2nd level) . A special feature of the Olympiad is also that the winners of the Olympiad are invited to the Summer Physics and Mathematics School, held in Akademgorodok (Novosibirsk), based on the results of training in which high school students are admitted to the Physics and Mathematics School, now the Specialized Educational and Scientific Center of Novosibirsk State University.
The Biomedical Olympiad has been held since 2005 at the Faculty of Fundamental Medicine of Moscow State University. The objectives are presented as open-ended questions related to medical biology and human health research. Solving problems requires knowledge of both medical aspects and applications of biology, as well as biological thinking and a creative approach.
Olympics in Moscow:
The oldest biological Olympiad in Russia (and the USSR) has been held since 1951. It takes place in several rounds at the Faculty of Biology of Moscow State University. A distinctive feature is that the Olympiad tasks are presented in the form of open problems that require, for successful solution, not only knowledge of certain facts, but also developed biological thinking and a creative approach.
Olympiads for applicants to Moscow State University:
National Biology Competition, University of Toronto, Canada (in English)
Quite an interesting high-level Olympiad, organized by one of the largest universities in Canada. Conducted in the form of testing. A distinctive feature is the openness of the competition - not only citizens of Canada, but also citizens of other countries can take part in it. To do this, you need very little: register the coordinator and the institution on the Olympiad website, and, of course, knowledge of the English language at the level of reading and understanding.
The specifics of the discipline "Biology" (a large amount of information and insufficient time to study it - 2 lessons per week) require special, quick forms of testing students' knowledge. For this reason, testing has become widely popular among biology teachers. Thematic and final test tests allow teachers to check the assimilation of a sufficiently large volume of educational material by the entire class in a short period of time.A new free project is starting on the website of the pedagogical community “site” - an all-Russian distance competition for biology and ecology teachers for the best test development. Colleagues! What types of tests do you use in biology and ecology lessons? Share your experience, receive Certificates, win prizes from the sponsor!

Biology teacher: Sukhova Tatyana Valerievna.
A team of 6 people is pre-selected in each class, the rest of the students become fans. In addition, each class receives a homework assignment to draw an environmental poster.
Participants in the game choose a captain, team name, emblem and motto that is in tune with the theme of the holiday.
Nature is the house in which we live,
And forests rustle in it, rivers flow and splash.
Under the blue sky, under the golden sun,
We want to live in this house forever.
Nature is a house decorated with labor,
Do you know, answer me, the price of such a house?
What happens if the roof is under fire,
What will happen if we break the walls in it?
Nature is a home in which day after day
Flowers and bread are growing, children are laughing all around.
And this house and laughter are one, one for all,
There is no other house in the whole world.
We, the inhabitants of our planet, are part of the nature that surrounds us. We cannot exist without water, sunlight, heat, air. Nature gives us all this and it is our duty to protect it in order to prolong life on Earth.
And today we will try to find out what you know about the world around us during the game and compete in your knowledge for the best connoisseur of nature.

Competition "Let's talk about plants."
I would like to remind you of the words of the great storyteller H.H. Andersen: “To live, you need the sun, freedom and a small flower.” Therefore, we will dedicate this competition to flowers.
1. I am a poet, my name is Tsvetik,
Hello from me to you all.
What work are these poems from?
(N.N. Nosov “The Adventures of Dunno and His Friends.”)
2. “There is such a firm rule. Get up in the morning, wash your face, put yourself in order, and immediately put the planet in order. It is imperative to weed out baobabs every day, as soon as they can be distinguished from rose bushes: their young shoots are almost identical. It's boring work, but not difficult at all." What work are these words from?
(A. Saint-Exupery “The Little Prince”).
3. Continue the poem:
My bells
Steppe flowers!
(“Why are you looking at me, dark blue ones?” A. Tolstoy).
4. Poets of all centuries sing about her,
There is nothing more tender and beautiful in the world,
Than this scroll of scarlet petals,
Opened with a fragrant cup.
What flower are we talking about?
5. Who wrote the fairy tale “The Stone Flower”?
(P.P. Bazhov)
6. What unusual flower did S.T. Aksakov describe?
(Scarlet flower).
The jury scores the correct answer 1 point.
Competition "Familiar Strangers".
The task of this competition is to imitate the habits of some animal you know well. The captain of each team receives a card with the name of the animal. Without words or sounds made by this animal, only with the help of facial expressions and pantomime, one of the players of each team must portray this animal. The opposing teams must guess what kind of animal was presented. The jury evaluates both the display of the animal (maximum 5 points) and the guessing (1 point).
Competition "Talking Geography".
In these riddles you need to guess the geographical names. And they are called “talking” because they resemble other objects not related to geography. Here is a classic example: “A city whose name contains one male name and one hundred female ones.” Answer: Sevastopol.
The teams are given riddles in turn; the time to think is 30 seconds; if there is no answer, the opponents can answer. The last 4 riddles are for those who answer faster. For each correct answer - 1 point.
A peninsula that speaks volumes about its size. (Yamal).
The cape that is blown. (Burn).
A city whose name contains three female names. (Tripoli).
The river is a preposition. (By).
The fastest island. (Java).
The city that crawls. (Uzhgorod).
A river that can be cut with a knife. (Seine).
A city whose name consists of the names of two
animals: one is a bird, the other is a beast. (Voronezh).
The name of which river consists of a food product and a woman's name? (Syr Darya).
An island that says to itself that it is a piece of clothing. (Jamaica).
Competition "Countries and Capitals".
Each team receives a task card. The presenter gives explanations for this task. Correctness and speed are assessed (the team that is the first to give the correct answer receives an additional point).
These phrases, at first glance, look strange. But take a closer look - in each of them the name of a country is hidden, and moreover, the name of its capital! Here, for example: Franz and I made a bet. Jacques is a witness. You can see what is “hidden” here (France - Paris).
There were nasturtiums and a glass of caramel on the windowsill. (Türkiye - Ankara).
Now I have a question: did this lady send a letter to the squire? (Russia – Moscow).
Fan competition.
While the teams complete tasks in the “Countries and Capitals” competition, fans earn additional points for them.
Riddles that involve water .
They fly without wings
They run without legs. (Clouds).
It's not a forest, but it's noisy. (River).
Walks underground
Looks at the sky. (Spring).
He came, knocked on the roof,
He left, no one heard. (Rain).
What is visible when
Nothing is visible. (Fog).
In the evening it flies to the ground,
Night remains on earth,
In the morning it flies away again. (Dew).
Neither water nor land,
You can't sail away on a boat,
And you can't walk with your feet. (Swamp).
Make noise, make noise from a steep peak,
Don't stop the gray stream,
Combine a long howl,
With a lingering recall of the valley. (Waterfall).
Transparent like glass
You can't put it in the window. (Ice).
There is water all around, but drinking is a problem. (Sea).
"Overtaking" competition.
Each team is given a floor. You must make new words using letters from it. Letters that do not appear in the proposed word cannot be used. Time to complete the task is 2 minutes. The jury scores each correctly composed word 1 point.
The word "Ecological".
Fan competition.
While the teams are completing the task, we again turn to the fans. They are given riddles about plants.
He produces sheets
Wide width.
Holds on strong stems,
A hundred rough, tenacious fruits.
If you don't get around them -
You will find them all on yourself.
(Burdock).
The clothes are gray,
Yes, the body is white.
Although not a khan by rank,
There is a sultan on the head,
And little bottles of gold
Tucked under the arms.
(Corn).
From plants whose portrait
Embossed on a coin?
Whose fruits are more needed?
On a terrestrial planet?
(Wheat).
This is such a curiosity:
There is a carrot on the branch!
Hangs, blushes,
It's basking in the sun.
(Red pepper).
The berry tastes good
But rip it off, go ahead:
A bush with thorns, like a hedgehog,
So they called it -…….
(Blackberry).
The berry is red!
The berry is delicious!
Cut and salt!
Eat and praise!
In the little yellow house
Black kids.
Among them there are gray ones,
But they are not mature.
(Sunflower).
Rye is earing in the field...
There you will find a flower in the rye.
Bright blue and fluffy.
It's just a pity that it's not fragrant.
(Knapweed).
I'm in the field and in the garden
In plain sight of passers-by.
My head is white
Overgrown with petals.
(Chamomile).
Bells appeared -
White peas.
The bluebells have blossomed
On a green leg.
A hundred clothes
And all without fasteners.
(Cabbage).
On a green fragile leg
The ball grew near the path.
The breeze rustled
And dispelled this ball.
(Dandelion).
Not a bee, but stings.
(Nettle).
Blue uniform
Yellow lining
There is a fold in the middle.
Tomato brother,
But I’m not happy with the red gum:
He grew up in purple clothes,
Doesn't blush even when lying down.
(Eggplant).
In haymaking it’s bitter,
And in the cold it’s sweet,
What kind of berry?
There are balls hanging on a branch,
Turned blue from the heat.
Competition "Ecological Poster".
The jury sums up the homework.
