Re: Ecology B/C
Life, Personal and Social Science is just code for Biology. Ecology is the study of the interactions between living organisms and their interaction with the environment. You cover the topic in a biology class. It definitely belongs in the life science category of SO.amerikestrel wrote: I just thought of something: Does anyone think it odd that ecology is listed under "LIFE, PERSONAL & SOCIAL SCIENCE" on soinc.org? It seems like it would fit much better in "EARTH & SPACE SCIENCE".
When it comes to the future, there are three kinds of people: those who let it happen, those who make it happen, and those who wonder what happened.

I'm taking a tryout test in 5 minutes to see if I get onto my school's SO team. It's on ecology. I hope I don't forget anything important at the last minute.

Re: Ecology B/C
I am actually glad that there is a page of notes even tho my schools "A" team will not use the notes. I remember three years ago my school almost took last place in this event.
Can anyone give me advice on teaching Ecology to the members on your team that are interested in the event.

Re: Ecology B/C
You know, you dont get extra points for not using notes. Your A team should make notes anyway. It's always nice to have, even if they never use em. Try to convince them not to let foolish pride get in the way of winning.sweetcoop wrote:I am actually glad that there is a page of notes even tho my schools "A" team will not use the notes.

Re: Ecology B/C
I have to agree with gneiss. Even the most prepared team can fail if they forget things on competition day. I would bring the note sheet anyways, even if they're not going to use it. Just as insurance, you know.
I would pretend that you're teaching a class and do it that way. I'd also get plenty of notes and problems/questions from the internet, so that the people who are interested can see what the event covers and what the questions would be like.sweetcoop wrote:Can anyone give me advice on teaching Ecology to the members on your team that are interested in the event.

Re: Ecology B/C
well more than likely we will have notes prepared but i think i will let my partner in the event do the notes cause my page would be unhelpful. you are right tho saying that we won't use notes is foolish pride.gneissisnice wrote:You know, you dont get extra points for not using notes.

Re: Ecology B/C
even if people say that ecology would be really easy with a notes sheet, doesn't mean they're gonna ignore it and not make one entirely, that's stupid.AlphaTauri wrote:I have to agree with gneiss.

also, sweetcoop, I think I would suggest finding good online powerpoints and teach like a teacher in bio class. make them take their own notes. and then test later.
