Event Rules – 2015
DISCLAIMERThis presentation was prepared using draft rules. There may be some changes in the final copy of the rules. The rules which will be in your Coaches Manual and Student Manuals will be the official rules.
Event Rules – 2015
BE SURE TO CHECK THE 2015 EVENT RULES FOR EVENT PARAMETERS AND TOPICS FOR EACH COMPETITION LEVEL
TRAINING MATERIALS Training Power Point – content overview Training Handout - content information Practice Activities - sample stations with key Sample Tournament – sample problems with
key Event Supervisor Guide – prep tips, event
needs, and scoring tips Internet Resource & Training CD’s – on the

Data Presentation and Analysis-
Graphs Graph – types X vs Y axis Scaling axis Plotting points Human Error Curve or best fit
line Labeling
Human Mistakes vs. Experimental Errors
Human Mistakes – carelessness Experimental Error –
instrument variation or technique
Random Error – chance variation
Systematic Error – system used for designing or conducting experiment
A Sample Dichotomous Key
1. wings covered by an exoskeleton . . . . . . go to step 2 1. wings not covered by an exoskeleton. . . . go to step 3
2 body has a round shape. . . . . . . . ladybug 2 body has an elongated shape. . . . . .grasshopper
3.wings point out from the side of the body . . dragonfly3 wings point to the posterior of the body.. . . . Housefly
Note: There should be one less step than the total number of organisms to be identified in your dichotomous key.
Sample Stations – Population Density
Measure sample area Determine population density for symbols Assign an organism to symbols Form a food chain Evaluate sample – predict techniques, etc.
Sample Station – Dichotomous Key
Have specimens of leaves Formulate a key or use a key to identify
specimens
Sample Station - Measurement
Identify range, capacity, incrementation Do measurement – estimate last digit
Sample Station – Experiment Analysis
Analyze the design of the experiment Identify variables Explain results – form conclusions
Sample Station – Microscopy
Determine the diameter of the field and the length of one cell in mm and convert to mcm.
Sample Station – Data Analysis
Making hypotheses
Food web analysis
Eating habit analysis
Predictions and conclusions
Inferences
Sample Station – pH
Determine the pH of various solutions using either pH probe or pH test papers.
