Re: Reach For The Stars
Well, not all the states are done yet, so not everyone knows whether or not they will be competing in this at nats.

Connecticut rep got 5th place, they couldn't beat my team's guessing,so I'm not expecting much from themrbejnood wrote:who is competing in this event at nationals?

Re: Reach For The Stars
Does anyone know how in-depth the questions on evolution will be for an average state test? Will they ask questions about the Yerkes spectral classification? Will they ask us to identify emission/absorption spectra of Hydrogen, etc? Do we have to know about Balmer, Lyman, and Paschen series? (sorry I spelled that wrong).
Thnx.

Re: Reach For The Stars
They will definitely ask about evolution. They probably won't ask much, if anything on the other topics.crabnebula143 wrote:Does anyone know how in-depth the questions on evolution will be for an average state test?

Re: Reach For The Stars
on stellar evolution depth-depends on what state you are from
yerkes spectral classification-maybe, but know it just in case
emmision/absorbtion spectra-definitely
balmer series-no way
lyman series-highly doubtful
paschen series-highly doubtful (you spelled that right btw)
yerkes spectral classification-maybe, but know it just in case
emmision/absorbtion spectra-definitely
balmer series-no way
lyman series-highly doubtful

The Glass is neither half full nor half empty-it is simply twice as large as it needs to be.

Do you know how in-depth they'll ask about evolution? For example, do I need to know about in-depth evolution (T Tauri stars... variables, etc...) or just basic evolution like red giant/red dwarf, etc?

Re: Reach For The Stars
Will they make you identify the stars/elements (eg. Sun/Hydrogen) or will they just ask you what it is + how its used in astronomy? Thnx.rbejnood wrote: emmision/absorbtion spectra-definitely)
Sorry for the double post.
Thnx, pj + rbejnood!!

Re: Reach For The Stars
Know your basic stuff very well. I wouldn't expect stuff about T Tauri or variables, but maybe know them just in case. For variables, you won't have to know much about variables. The most you would have to know maybe are which stars on the list are variables (which is pretty much all of them, seeing as now astronomers are saying how all stars are variable to some degree) and maybe what type they are. Otehr than that not much needs to be known about variable stars.crabnebula143 wrote:pjgscioisamazing wrote:They will definitely ask about evolution.

Re: Reach For The Stars
they probably wont make you identify the stars and the element, but i'm almost positive that they will ask for it's spectal class and what it iscrabnebula143 wrote:Will they make you identify the stars/elements (eg.
