Event List (archived)
Division B
Mission Possible--Possibly
starting and stopping a stopwatch as the task
Robo-Billiards--A
set of blocks will be initially placed around 3 sides of
the racked balls.
Bottle Rocket--no
parachutes, 2 L bottles this year
Bridge Building--similar
to 04, but removed max weight being held as 1st tier. Returning
to the highest efficiency wins concept.
Experimental Design--no
changes
Write It / Do It--no
changes
Naked Egg Drop--no
changes
Compute This--trial
event similar to a few years ago.
Science of Fitness--some
minor changes
Awesome Aquifer--build
a model aquifer.
Forestry--no changes
Life Science Lab--addition
of simple Mendelian genetics as a station
Water Quality--no
changes
Dynamic Planet--glaciers
and possibly oceans as topics
Fossils--last year,
rocks/minerals for 05-06
Meteorology--severe
storms as new topic
Reach for the Stars--no
changes
Road Scholars--no
changes
Sounds of Music--previously
a trial event, similar to Div C
Storm the Castle--clean
up of rules
Wright Stuff--similar
Write It, Do It
-- not originally posted on this list. . . just not posted
on the drop list.
Can't Judge a Powder--no
changes
Science Crime Busters--drop
ammonia, add bleach, add magnesium
DROP: Wheeled Vehicles,
Picture This, Metric Estimation
Division
C
Mission Possible--yep,
still here, something about starting and stopping a stopwatch
as the task
Robot Ramble--similar,
a few new things to pick up, inflate a 12 inch
balloon to diameter of your choice and put in the box prior
to start, pop the balloon as part of the task.
Bottle Rocket--no
parachutes, 2 L bottles this year
Towers--new
height is 60 cm, new "waist" is at 40 cm. Scoring
changed back to older version where max weight is not needed,
but rather only highest efficiency.
Experimental Design--no
changes
Practical Data Gathering--similar
Compute This!--
'04 trial event and similar to a few years ago.
Fermi Questions--
'04 trial event
Cell Bio--no
changes
Designer Genes--no
changes
Science of Fitness--becoming
"Health Sciences", endocrine system replaces circulatory
Forestry--no
changes, but more emphasis on ecology
Dynamic Planet--glaciers
and possibly oceans as topics
Fossils--last
year, rocks/minerals for 05-06
Astronomy--no
changes
Remote Sensing--coastal
landforms as emphasis
Storm the Castle--clean
up of rules
Wright Stuff--similar
Physics Lab--optics
as main focus
Chem Lab--drop
periodicity, add chemical bonding as new topic
Qualitative Analysis--cations
in solution (similar to years ago), but new chemicals. Probably
will have a new name, but the QA of the last 7 years is
gone.
Crime Scene Science--a
forensics event, details somewhat sketchy still, but will
be more clear shortly.
DROP: Polymer Detectives,
Sounds of Music, and Write It / Do It
