A few things:

Can we not fill this thread with complaints about how much you hate this event?

Instead mabye see if you can come up with practice ideas and try to tell people tasks/questions they used at your competitions.

first off thats what society for the discontinuation of pentathlon is for: complaining about this event
second, how are u supposed to practice for this event?

[fmtiger124]

Well, it would be fairly easy to come up with questions for the knowledge part of the exam:
Sort rocks by type
Sort elements by Solid, Liquid, gas
Dichotomous Key
Cladogram etc.

and then physical tasks:
jump rope
mini-obstacle course
shoot a basketball
old tasks from previous competitions

Just time yourself and try to get better i guess.

Well, we can't post in that one now, can we? If you want to you can create a new one in General Chat, that's probably where it would fit the most.

I think we ought to make a list of science topics that could be covered. Here's some off the top of my head, just keep adding to it.


Diseases
Famous Scientists
Famous Inventions
Identifying Rocks
Kingdoms(Life)
Rock Cycle
States of Matter
Water Cycle
Waves

except for the obvious physics part

[robotman]

if i remember the rules righ tthe questions can cover any topic in science
o therefore anything that you have learned in science class
Dynamic planet stuff
MET stuff
anything related to science

[49ers]

well thanks for stating the obvious (no offense). i meant any other topic that anyone has seen at a competition

Vague questions get vague responses...
