Thursday 11-12 We had our first Science Olympiad (SO) meeting on Tuesday from 3-5pm. We discussed the 22 events that make the SO. Any student that missed the first meeting can get a description of the events here : http://soinc.org/short_event_descriptions (We are division B) Students took brief notes about each event. Students were given an assignement that needs to be completed for our next meeting which will be Tuesday 11-19 from 3-5pm. Students must do the following: -Pick 5 of the 22 events that you are interested in. - Obtain one information sheet about one of the five events. I have these information sheets. - Research some portion of the that event. Print out a minimum of 3 pages that are helpful in learning about that event. Bring all three of these to our next meeting which will be Tuesday 11/19. Tuesday December 8 All students were informed that the team would be announced on the Wednesday before Christmas Break. We reminded students that they need to be working on events during time at home and during study halls. Many students have taken this advise and have made themselves very valuable to the team. Students that do not demonstrate the desire to make this commitment will not make the team. Only 15 students will make the team. Students have been instructed to make a Science Olympiad folder for our next practice. Many studnets have already completed this task. Students should have four events that they are gathering information for. The information should be oragnized into the notebooks. SSome students have not chosen four events at this time. They need to chose events. We reviewed the list of students and which events they are interested in on Tuesday. Students were informed as to which events need more involvement. It is our hope that students will come to the next practice with this notebook and have it divided into four sections. Each section will posses materials that will help students become experts in tthat event.
