Anatomy ± Physiology Minnesota Science Olympiad States 2011
Plan for today • Overview of • event format (B & C) • scientific content (B & C) • Your event coordinator’s perspective (C only) • Review of resources • Questions
Event format (B & C) • Written exam, up to 2 students, 50 minutes • Optional: non-programmable / non-graphing calculator • Optional: One sheet of notes (two sides, any content) • May include: • Timed stations • Written test • Powerpoint slides • Anatomical specimens • etc • Scoring by total number of points
Content (B & C) • Organ systems: • B: muscular, respiratory • C: muscular, respiratory, endocrine • For each organ system: • B: basic normal anatomy • C: basic normal anatomy & physiology • Effects of certain disease states and aging • Note especially areas listed specifically in the rules • Also certain general scientific skills: • Including data collection, making observations, calculations, inferences, predictions, analyses, conclusions
Content (B & C) See slides from national event supervisor Note that I’ve combined two separate slide sets and therefore some slides are marked “C only”
Dr Jeff’s perspective (C only) • Format • Almost all multiple choice / matching / short answer • A few more complex (often based on graphs / figures) • Points per question varying by difficulty (will be listed on test) • Some powerpoint but probably no stations / specimens • Content • Focus on clinically relevant aspects (and application not memorization) • Will try to ask at least a little about each item specified in the rules so no one feels time spent studying that item has been wasted • This includes the scientific skills (data collection, inference, etc) • Majority of questions will be general/adult, but definitely will be some pediatrics in areas covered by the rules (especially those where it is educational to contrast adult and pediatric aspects) • Plan on a challenge • I know how smart Science Olympiad students are (ties!) • Only number of points matters, not percent correct
