Here's a website I created to simulate lab for crime busters!- https://crimebusters-simulator.netlify.app/

I LOVE this website! I was wondering if you are making one for liquids and metals?
Thank you so so so much!

Thank you so much! I am adding liquid and metals, and its almost done! I just need to put everything together, so it should be updated by the end of this month.

For all Crime Busters test writers out there, I would just like to say something. I know that using photos instead of description can help simulate a real lab better, and I honestly don't think this is a bad idea. However, when using photos, maybe try to zoom in on the crystals of salt, sugar, sodium acetate, etc. so students get a better idea of what that looks like on competition day. Also, please don't use blurry images, as this doesn't help at all. This only makes it harder to see and only takes away from the experience of competitors. Other than those two, there wasn't anything else I wanted to mention using photos for lab test results, but again I may have forgotten something, these are just my thoughts on this idea.

Which plastics float in water?

Which plastics float in water?

I believe HDPE, LDPE and PP all float in water, while the rest of the plastics (PETE, PS, PMMA) all sink.

Hi,

To answer your question, there isn’t really a specific way to get better, since exam writers can essentially ask any question related to the event, but I would suggest looking on Wikipedia or having some basic chemistry knowledge in case that gets thrown at you (this is a chemistry event after all). The Scioly.org Wiki is also a good place to find good information for general questions, as well as lots of practice on practice tests. These are some common ones:
- What are the four bases of DNA?
- What is the most common type of fingerprint?
- What is the least common type of fingerprint?
- What does Rf stand for in paper chromatography?

Hope this helped you a little bit! And good luck!

If all else fails, you can ask your event coach to do the meticulous job of transcribing the test key into a description

You can ask a teammate who isn't doing crime busters on your team to help you as well
