Anatomy and Physiology
Division: B – Middle School
NC Essential Standards Alignment: Biology
Event Rules: See the National Rules Manual
National Event Page: Here
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 2023 tournament season are respiratory, digestive, and immune.
Materials:
Each team may bring one 8.5” x 11” sheet of paper which may be in a protector sealed by tape or laminated, that may contain information on both sides in any form and from any source without any annotations or labels affixed 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.
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.
