Wait so Solar Systems isn't just about the water and ice in our solar system?

Hi everybody,

Just so you know, there are flash cards, webinars, and practice tests for the event on http://www.aavso.org/science-olympiad-2014 .

I hope they help!

I don't want to study what I don't have to and waste time.
My bro says that each year the Theme of Solar Systems changes every year and that this year the theme is water and ice. It also says that this years Solar system says that students must learn about the water and ice inb our solar system. :geek: :evil: :evil: :geek:

This is the first year out of the last few rotations for Solar Systems that the theme/rules have changed. How is learning new something a waste of time?

My coach gave me a two inch binder all about the history of the solar system, everything about the planets, everything about the sun, and pretty much every constellation known to man. Somehow, I still have absolutley no information. Maybe because I get distracted easily. I'm sure everything I need to know is in there.

I'm pretty sure next to nothing you need to know is in there. The new event is all current research, you won't find what you need in someone's old study binder. Has your coach read the new rules?
