Hello! It's great to see you're interested in participating in science competitions during your high school years. There are various competitions available for students with different interests and skill levels. I've listed a few well-known science competitions below:

1. Regeneron Science Talent Search (STS) - One of the most prestigious pre-college science competitions in the United States. High school seniors submit original research projects in any area of science, technology, engineering, or mathematics.

2. Intel International Science and Engineering Fair (ISEF) - The world's largest international pre-college science competition, where students present their research projects and compete for scholarships, internships, and other prizes.

3. Siemens Competition in Math, Science, and Technology - A national contest for high school students where they can submit original research projects in STEM fields either individually or as part of a team.

4. USA Biology Olympiad (USABO) - Students participate in a series of exams that test their knowledge of biology, with top candidates being invited to attend a training camp and then potentially represent the United States at the International Biology Olympiad.

5. Chemistry Olympiad (U.S. National Chemistry Olympiad, USNCO) - A multi-tiered competition that tests students on their knowledge and skills in chemistry, culminating in the International Chemistry Olympiad for top performers.

6. Physics Olympiad (USA Physics Olympiad, USAPhO) - A nationwide physics competition consisting of various exams that test students' knowledge and problem-solving skills, with the possibility of advancing to the International Physics Olympiad.

7. Science Bowl - A team competition where students answer questions in biology, chemistry, mathematics, physics, and other science-related areas in a fast-paced, quiz-style format.

8. Science Olympiad - An annual national competition that features various STEM-related events, where teams of students compete in challenges related to biology, chemistry, physics, engineering, and more.

These are just a few examples, and there are many other science competitions available at regional, national, and international levels. Be sure to research the specific eligibility requirements and deadlines for each competition. Good luck and have fun exploring your scientific interests!
