Systems
Endocrine System, Div C only
What to study
 3 classes of hormones: steroids, peptides, amines
 Mechanisms of hormone action
 Endocrine related problems
 Hormone producing glands; hormones and their
function
 Endocrine disorders
The Event
 Covers anatomy, physiology, and pathology of the skeletal
and muscular systems
 Process skills include data collection and analysis,
observations, inferences, predictions, calculations,
analyses, and conclusion
 Team may take in 2 non-programmable calculators and
ONE 8.5 X 11 “ 2-sided page of notes of any kind from any
source
The Test
 Timed lab stations
 Case studies
 Short answer questions
 Identification of models, X-ray, or pictures
Focus of Study
 More than Memorization!
 Critical thinking and logical reasoning
 Integration of systems; the “big picture”
 Pathology as a window to physiology
 Speed!
Resources
 Biology and anatomy textbooks
 http://soinc.org/
 List of 50 major skeletal muscles
 Training Power Points and handouts
 General anatomy and physiology links
Tournament Strategies
 Both teammates should know both systems!
 Bring a watch to time yourself at stations
 Write questions on your sheet if you need to come
back to them after you leave a station
 If you don’t know an answer , reason your way through.
 Partners should work together!
Cell Biology, Div C
 Bring and wear #4 goggles, non-programmable
calculator and one 2-sided page of notes from any
source
 Competition is at stations where students are tested in
lab process skills and knowledge of cell biology and
cellular biochemistry
 New areas are in bold print on the rules

Mitosis
Disease Detectives
 Investigative Skills
 Basic understanding of biological and physical agents
that cause disease
 Distinguish between infectious and non-infectious
health burdens
 Focus on the effects of population growth on public
health outcomes
Skills needed
 Create graphic displays of data
 Interpret trends and patterns of epidemiologic data
 Communicate results
The Competition
 Timed!
 Bring a non-programmable calculator and one 2-sided
page of notes from any source
 Could be a written exam or a station-based situation or
both

answers, many links, online games
 Center for Disease Control (CDC)
2009-2010 EMPHASIS - PUBLIC HEALTH CONCERNS
RELATED TO POPULATION GROWTH
Water Quality, Water Pollution, Water Demands
Sanitation Needs
Growth of Slums and Household Environment
Environmental Degradation
Air Pollution
Infectious Disease Outbreaks
Rapid Spread of Disease via Public Transportation and Air
Travel
Food Quality and Food Contamination
Lack of food in poor nations vs. unhealthy fast food and
drinks in technological societies
Availability of health care for the poor and the aged
People moving into uninhabited areas = new pathogens
such as Lyme Disease and Ebola
Ecology
 Content knowledge in the area of ecology and
adaptations in featured American biomes
 50% of the test will focus on grassland and taiga
ecology
 50% on general ecological principles
Guess what they can bring!
How to study
 Start with a basic textbook
 Vocabulary, food webs, climate, relationships
 Biomes and adaptations of plants and animals,
locations, habitat, interactions
 Let the kids do the research and teach each other
Ornithology
 None of our students have done this one before!
 Official SO 3 page list of North American birds
 Bring one field guide and the bird list
The Competition
 Stations and/or Power Point presentation
 Live or preserved specimens, recordings of songs,
slides or pictures
 Questions cover history, distribution, anatomy and
physiology, reproduction, habitat characteristics,
ecology, diet, behavior, conservation and biogeography
