Science Olympiad Events 2019-2020
Hey fellow users,
I was wondering what events you guys were thinking are going to happen next year in the 2019-2020 season for both Division B and Division C. Thanks!!

Re: Science Olympiad Events 2019-2020
Expected changes:
- A&P returns to whatever systems it had in 2016
- Herpetology -> Ornithology
- Water Quality focus changes to saltwater or estuaries, something like that
- Dynamic Planet topic probably changes to Freshwater
- Astronomy topic will change, details unknown but I expect star and planet formation may return
- Meteorology topic changes to Severe Storms
- Solar System -> Reach for the Stars
- Thermodynamics -> Simple Machines (B)/Compound Machines (C)
- Potions and Poisons -> Can't Judge A Powder
- Chemistry Lab topic probably becomes Acids and Bases, & Aqueous Solutions
- Battery Buggy -> Mousetrap Vehicle
- Mousetrap Vehicle -> Gravity Vehicle
- Mission Possible -> probably Robot Arm
- Mystery Architecture and Fermi Questions will almost certainly rotate out, but I have no idea what will replace them

I thought that the DP topics generally don't change until after 2 years...Unome wrote:Dynamic Planet topic probably changes to Freshwater

Re: Science Olympiad Events 2019-2020
Yeah, DP isn't going to change this rotation. Plus, and some additional formatting suggestions, add the events that aren't going to change in and separate it into div C and B

Re: Science Olympiad Events 2019-2020
One year rotations were the plan at some point recently. They were originally going to implement that in 2018 but didn't do so, so I suspect they'll do it next season.JoeyC wrote:Yeah, DP isn't going to change this rotation.

Didn't have time for formatting, I wrote it on my phone.

I am not an official source and I don't know for sure myself, but I think the topic will be staying the same.Unome wrote:Astronomy topic will change, details unknown but I expect star and planet formation may return

Re: Science Olympiad Events 2019-2020
I believe this may still be up in the air. I was told at one point that some "throwback" options such as Robot Ramble were under consideration.Unome wrote:Expected changes:
