Discussion for Keep the Heat B and Thermodynamics Lab C

Thermodynamics Lab Wiki
2009 Thread

Shouldn't this by in the Building Events forum?

No, within the internal nomenclature of Science Olympiad, Keep the Heat and Thermodynamics are not considered Engineering/Building events as much as a lab event. Only (at most) half of the points will be coming from the insulating device.

That AND the title of the event is "Thermodynamics LAB."

The Table of Contents for the rules calls it just Thermodynamics, but close enough

I've never done this event before. What advice would you offer to a newbie?
(I also plan on reading the Wiki.)

No one's done this event before, except perhaps a few people from Minnesota. So we'll have to wait for the rules to come out to find out

So what materials are people looking into for insulation?

Read the rules first!

FYI, I wouldn't jump the gun on this. We provided a pretty limited list of materials in the rules that are permitted.
