When the Souls made it to the Academic Bowl it was a fantastic feat that was unheard of for the 6th grade! To prepare for the bowl, the Souls practiced all day to learn questions and their answers. One thing that we learned was that sometimes we don't learn everything that we know in school. Most of the experiences that we have in our daily live can provide us with answers to questions we might not be asking ourselves.
Some of the questions asked during the bowl were difficult but the Souls knew how to use their prior knowledge and connected what they knew about to answer the question.
Below is a link to some academic bowl questions for a high school academic bowl. You probably wont know the answers to some of these, but you may be surprised at how much you DO know. Try to answer the questions that were actually used in an academic bowl. The answers are provided.
Bowl Questions
What did you think? Were the questions hard? Were there any questions you knew the answer to? How did you know the answer? Prior knowledge?
Its amazing what we can achieve when we actually set our mind to do something! The Souls practiced questions like this all the time. With practice, questions will always come easier.

Some of the questions were surprisingly difficult! But I love the challenge. I tried to use what I already knew to at least make a guess. I LOVE how you wrote this post. Well-said!
