Food Mousetrap Keep the Heat Mission Possible and Forestry are rotating out. Check the post in General Chat called Science Olympiad 2013-2014. It has a unofficial list. It is not official.Beastybob12345 wrote:@ScienceOlympian I've heard from you that a bunch of events are rotating, for example: Food and Mousetrap, now Keep the Heat?!ScienceOlympian wrote:Physics events rotate for two years.

Re: Keep the Heat B/Thermodynamics C
No Keep the Heat/Thermodynamics next year

Does this mean it's returning in 2 years?
I asked in that post but they said it could cycle any time...may not work the same way for physics events (if what you said is true).

Re: Keep the Heat B/Thermodynamics C
Yep. Keep the Heat might come four or five years later...since Shock Value is rotating out for 2014-2015 season, so there is a lot of physics events they might put. Optics Physical Science Lab Crave the Wave, ...sjwon3789 wrote:No Keep the Heat/Thermodynamics next year

For the 2014-2015 year NOT next season(2013-2014).

Re: Keep the Heat B/Thermodynamics C
Why would you think that? There are a lot of event supervisors, including myself, that are very active on this forum and happy to chat with you.mrburrito wrote: You're not supposed to talk too much with event supervisors, right?

Most likely yes. We try to keep the 'paired' events in sync with each other.

Re: Keep the Heat B/Thermodynamics C
I had a horrible time at States in Keep the Heat. I tested the device 20 times prior to the competition, and when I got to the State competition, I realized that my cotton balls were wet with water from the testing. AND, my proctor said towels and bandannas were commercial insulation. I remember feeling super mad, since they should've described what commercial insulation was more clearly. Then, I used my formula and I predicted it to be 70 Celsius, but the towels were wet with COOL water so it resulted in a temperature of 48 Celsius... Then I was the only one who studied, and my partner did barely anything, so we did like 40 out of the 50 questions on the test...We ended up getting 17th out of 24...Pretty bad...Considering I worked on Keep the Heat the most. But I learned a lot of Thermodynamics, and that is what SciOly is about. This post is my story and I hope (for the people going to Nationals for Keep or Thermo) that this doesn't happen to you.

Re: Keep the Heat B/Thermodynamics C
I remember when my adviser was getting hot water for my box and when he was pouring it into the beaker (the beaker was in the box first because he didn't want to insert it afterwards), he spilled it...this happened 2 days before regionals and I had to redo it. I fortunately got 4th place.ScienceOlympian wrote:I had a horrible time at States in Keep the Heat.
