Caving is when glaciers sheer of bits of icebergs. Because of this with melting the sea level is rising. Caving is wedging the ice apart causing large fractures. This further speeds up melting.this is a problem because 1/6 of the world depends on glaciers for water.

Forensic notes.
Peter Morick and Greg Morick are brothers. Using forensic science we can tell if it was a suicide or a murder.The forensics people looked at the angle of the shot, the blood stains, the motive, and the soot.Peter was found not guilty.
A girl was killed in a fire and the building manager was a suspect because he had an affair with her. The evidence: For; gas on shoes, blisters on hands, singed hair, she was pregnant. Against; a gasoline powered fan was on the scene, money being kept on the hot headboard. He was not guilty

Division C events.
Life, personal & social science.
Life sciences consist of the study of living things such as plants and animals. Personal science can be best described as people using science to solve their own specific problems. This is a growing field today, not among scholars but amungst science minded people. Social science is the broad field of society, human interactions, and individual human behavior. There are many professions and fields of study surrounding this topic.
Earth & space science
Earth science can be best described as all sciences related to the planet earth. This is a very large topic and can cover a vast wealth of information. This is sometimes considered cross over with space sciences because earth is the only life harboring planet that we know of as of now. Space science is the study of outer space, this can also be called astronomy and is a rapidly growing field as we can travel farther and farther into space.
Physical science & chemistry
Physical science involves the branches of natural science that encompasses non-living things. This is an overall definition but there are some anomalies because of the fact that physical science can include biological phenomena. Chemistry is obviously the best subject and is generally considered to have the best scholars. The definition of chemistry is the science of matter, the chemical reactions, properties, as well as its structures.
Technology & engineering
Technology is the usage, making, and modification of tools, machines, systems, and crafts. This is obviously one of the most rapidly growing fields in science as everything we do in and out of science must use the latest tech. In order to effectively study any of the other fields we must interact with technology. Engineering is the science of Acquiring and applying the knowledge required to design and construct structures, machines, devices, and systems.
Inquiry & nature of science.
Inquiry is simply any process with the end goal of acquiring knowledge. The nature of science is a very general subject but can be interpreted as a way of understanding everything in the known universe. The nature of science is to be used as a tool for discovery and knowledge.

Science Olympiad is better then programing.
What is Science Olympiad, and why is it better then programming you might ask? Science Olympiad is a scientific track meet of sorts with 23 different events! A team can consist of up to 15 high school students and up to 7 seniors. The events center around current scientific topics such as geology and green technology. Each team will send at least one member to each event to compete against other teams. There are many different categories of topics. This can include; Life, personal & social science, earth & space science, physical science & chemistry, technology & engineering, inquiry & nature of science. These are all categories of topics in the C division(high school). The rules are presented with each event but there are some basic rules that could be generally considered common knowledge, like you may not use a pencil in such a way that it interferes with the event. The goal of Science Olympiad? To improve K-12 grade education, increasing male to female ratio in scientific communities, creating a technologically-literate workforce in America and providing recognition for outstanding scientific achievement by both students and teachers. This is what the people at Science Olympiad strive for.
