Solar System B

i need help.

[SOninja]

with what??
first, i would suggest the scioly wiki http://scioly.org/wiki/Solar_System and the ppt on soinc.org...

The archived thread has a lot of stuff too, even if it is a little bit cluttered and wasn't an event last year:http://scioly.org/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=17&t=1171. Googling is also helpful.

If you still can't find anything, or have a more specific problem,then you can ask.

Try here: http://www.lmgtfy.com/?q=solar+system
All you need to do is Google it.

[EastStroudsburg13]

Because that's entirely your idea for finding that link.

But seriously, if you need help with say, the moons of Neptune or something more specific like that, and we'll be glad to help, but we can't give you everything for the event. And plus if we tried to explain everything it would be too long for someone to want to read anyway.

For solar system it says "geologic activities, past and present, of planets and they're satellites"
...
for Jupiter/Saturn's "satellites" ... that's referring to only the major moons, right?? (Io, Europa, Ganymede, and Callisto)?
Jupiter has A LOT of moons....


Which moons of Saturn do we need to know?

I would guess that you only need to study the more important/interesting moons. If it's just a boring lump of rock orbiting, say, Jupiter, I don't think you need to know much about it other than its name, size, planet it orbits around, and distance from said planet.

That's assuming you're allowed a notesheet. If not, then maybe just name and what it orbits around.

[brobo]

You're allowed one 11.5 by 8 sheet of notes, front and back.
You can make the font as small as you want, too.

I don't think any tests will be fact-based generally, because they can't expect us to memorize all of the details of every planet and moon. If we still had the box of notes, it could be different...

[brobo]

I just tried one of the Nat tests, and it was mostly about Mars or Mercury or something.
How much will we need to know about orbit, rotation, seasons, weather patterns, air pressure, and how that all fits together?
Yes, all of those things were on the practice test...
