Required Materials: Writing instrument
Clarifications: None
Description:
This event is usually done as stations that teams rotate through, though it can also be set up as a sit down test with more in depth case studies. Teams may be viewing any combination of models, pictures, diagrams/charts, or recorded/written descriptions. They will then be asked to answer questions (multiple choice, fill in the blank, short answer, etc) related to the samples including but not limited to: basic anatomy identification, related diseases and conditions, making observations, inferences, predictions, calculations, analyses and conclusions. The systems for the 2022 tournament season are coming soon.
Materials:
Each team may bring one 8.5” x 11” sheet of paper that may contain information on both sides in any form and from any source along with two stand-alone non-programmable, non-graphing calculators.
Scoring:
High score wins. Predetermined questions and the quality of free-response answers will be used to break ties.
Common Mistakes:
None
Recommendations:
– The topics to be covered are clearly outlined in the official rules. Write these topics out and make notes as you study each area.
– For each area, make sure basic anatomy can be identified both in a diagram and on a model.
– Have a definitions page to study from for each topic area for tricky terms.
