I'm doing Dynamic Planet this year, where should i even begin????
All help is much appreciated.
Thank you!

Study the topics listed under section 3 of the rules as in-depth as possible. Use Google, get books, or whatever. The wiki has a lot of the basic info in one place, so you may want to begin there. The test exchange has a bunch of tests from last year, too.

Yes, check the wiki first. Always check the wiki. The wiki is good.

Soinc has some nice links too. http://www.soinc.org/dynamic_planet_c

I would say to check soinc first. Always check soinc. Soinc is good.

The training handout is great (although long). Read over the important parts and copy and paste away! The pictures are great for cheatsheets too, and there's more than enough room. It helps if you're in road scholar and aquifers, because there are concepts from the both of them in DynPlan.

Unfortunately, the Dynamic Planet training guide is not publicly available on soinc. Did you get it from the CD, or did your coach attend the Summer Institute?

Hint: Try google. Many coaches post materials on their public web pages.

Haha, yes, I already have the training guide from a public web page; I was just wondering where silentsage got his.

I got mine from a science olympiad team website (undisclosed location). Sorry, but my coaches went to a meeting there, guess it's not public.

If your coach has been doing this more than a season, then s/he probably has one from last year saved somewhere on the HD or buried in a file cabinet from meetings like those. I'd ask if anyone needs it.

Hi all,

I took a test at an invitational a few weeks ago and there was a lot of stuff on it about lakes, mainly stratification, but also a few other general questions about formation. I have had trouble finding any information about lakes and was wondering if anybody had any suggestions about where to look, aside from google of course.

Thanks.
