Wind Power Science Olympiad Latest Version Rated A+ Solar Power Converts sunlight to energy using photovoltaic cells. Expensive and unreliable in non-ideal weather conditions. Wind Power Uses turbines to generate energy. Unsightly and unreliable in high temperatures. Hydroelectric Power Converts movement of water into energy, usually with turbines. Creates reservoirs which cause issues. Tidal Power Type of hydroelectric power that uses the movement of water caused by tides...

Science Olympiad Optics Latest Version Graded A+ geometric optics how light travels, including reflection and refraction, light is thought of as rays which travel according to certain principles law of reflection the angle of incidence of a wave or stream of particles reflecting from a boundary, conventionally measured from the normal to the interface, is equal to the angle of reflection, measured from the same interface optical density measures how well a medium can transmit ligh...

Astronomy Science Olympiad Master Latest Update Graded A+ Optical double not actually binaries simply two stars lying along same line of sight (similar RA & dec) Not gravitationally bound Not usefull in determining stellar masses Visual binary both stars resolved independently if orbital pd not too long, can monitor motion provides angular separation from center of mass If dist known, linear separations can be calculated Astrometric binary If one significantly brighter, not pos...

Fossils Science Olympiad Latest Update Graded A+ Conditions required for a plant or an animal to become fossilized Hard body parts (bones, teeth, shells) - soft body parts will not fossilise, but may leave behind trace evidence (e.g. imprints) -Preservation of remains (protection against scavenging, erosion and environmental damage) -High pressure to promote mineralisation of remains (i.e. turn hard body parts into fossilised rocks) -Anoxic (low oxygen) conditions to protect against ...
