The H-R Diagram is not included in the online content. But I've heard of these really strange places where you can get Physical Copies of Books and Magazines. I think they are called "Libraries" and there is this other place that I've heard called a "Book Store".Cheesy Pie wrote:One: scientific american is commonly an oxymoron outside of scioly.

Three: can you send a link to the diagram if possible?

Re: Solar System B
Um shouldn't the hr diagram thing be in astronomy not solar system?

Astronomy is a Div C event, and way more in depth that Reach for the Stars. Since my target audience is middle schoolers who will be switching from Solar System to RFS, I put the info in this thread.

Re: Solar System B
I saw that issue of SciAm, and since I'm writing an RftS test right now, my first reaction was, "Holy [butterfly], this is perfect for the test I'm writing!"
Cheesy Pie: I've actually seen a lot of H-R diagram stuff on RftS tests. It's pretty typical for a RftS test to ask competitors to identify what kinds of stars are in specific places on the H-R diagram, or to plot stars on a blank H-R diagram.

Re: Solar System B
IMO, Astronomy is pretty much RftS but harder and more in depth. the basic things still remain the same, such as galaxies and HR Diagrams, etc.
Speaking of magazines, did anyone see the magazine article from nationals (Solar System) before the test? (As in, did you actually see the article in the magazine?)

Re: Solar System B
It's the most awesome event ever.
Basically they give you a list of constellations, stars and DSOs (things like nebulas, galaxies, and star clusters) that you should know information about, and you should be able to identify constellations and/or DSOs from images. You should also know general information about the topics in the opening description, which for 2009 were "stellar properties, stellar evolution, open and globular star clusters, and spiral, elliptical, and irregular galaxies."

Re: Solar System B
I have a friend whose sister really liked this event. It's about stars and deep space objects. I don't know much because I've only been around the Science Olympiad for one SO season.
And in Solar System, they actually put questions about stars from other solar systems. It's the Solar System. Do they really not understand?

Really? Where? I've never taken a test with stars from other solar systems in the various Solar System tests Ive taken...NYLHVSSO wrote: And in Solar System, they actually put questions about stars from other solar systems. It's the Solar System. Do they really not understand?

Scarsdale. Our "B" team failed and they guessed for every single question. My microbe mission partner was one of them.
