'04 - '05 Rulebook Updates

Recommendation(s): Deadlines for completion of Science Decathlon Rules and Drafts are February 1, 2005 and January 1, 2005, respectively. Teams are encouraged to register and begin preparation for Science Decathlon tournaments as soon as possible. Since Draft copies of Water Rocketry and Stump-The-Panel are the only Rules available for team prep, teams are encouraged to use these two events for current Science Decathlon preparation. Water Rocketry can be used to develop skills, both building and developmental, which can be applied to other Science Decathlon events like Scientific Method, Bridge/Tower Breaking and Cranefly later in the year. Likewise, Stump-The-Panel is a universal event which can be used to identify levels of knowledge and ability, as well as incorporate academic (text-based) information related to Entimology, Rocks & Minerals, Physiology, Blue Planet, Ick! Thyology, Ornithology and Marine Biology, Water Rocketry, Cranefly and Bridge/Tower Breaking.

Sooooooo, it is not too early to get started! And, the materials and resources which will allow you to do so are available here:
