First of all, congratulations to all who competed yesterday. Having taken a year long break from SO it was nice to be back, although this was my first time at BSU so it was definitely very different! BK's Science Olympiad program has been on a steady decline over the past few years, so it was a plea...

After the conclusion of the Capital invite I thought I'd put a word in. The mini-invites definitely seem to be a positive development in Idaho. I competed in Herpetology today and thought that things went well and that the difficulty was good for an invite (especially in Idaho where things are just ...

I noticed on the list that some of the scientific taxons and common names do not match exactly. For example, the family Helodermatidae includes both gila monsters and the Mexican beaded lizard; however, the common name only says gila monster. There are many other examples, like Cryptobranchidae/hel...

As for the B division, TVHSOT got a final score of 133, 2nd place Fairmont got 163, and 3rd place St. Joseph's got 166. Would you be able to estimate the number of teams and...

So at my state tournament, (Idaho,) my partner and I got a question that neither one of us knew. The first part asked what the sensitivity was, and the second part I can't remember. So my question is, what other term could it have been asking for? I think it started with an 's' as well, but I'm not...

Well, from what I hear, my mom knew the high school coach before I got involved in SO, and says that she's always been competitive. Despite the HS level being more difficult, I do recall a HS member having five events and somehow getting gold at state in all five. No one on our MS team had more tha...

Concept questions! 1. There are two types of metamorphism: regional and contact. Briefly describe the process for each, and give examples of rocks that form in these environments. 2. Although sometimes these are listed as the only types of metamorphism, there are others. Name three other, less prev...

Hey, everyone! I'm sure you get this question often, but what resources do you recommend for this event? Our family owns a copy of Gray's Anatomy, but other than that not too many anatomical books. Do you recommend using Wikipedia in conjunction with other sites? Quizlet? I know that diagrams will b...
