Experimental Design

[Phenylethylamine]

At NY States, it was such a simple event (basically a ball-and-ramp experiment, the topic was "motion", they gave you a marble, a rubber bouncy ball, and a wiffle golf ball, a ruler that was specified to be used as a ramp, some different-textured papers, and 3 little Dixie cups). We got 3rd, I think partially because we got a little cocky, and partially because it was so simple that there was nothing to prevent a less well-prepared team from beating us just by not making stupid mistakes.

I did this event at regionals and got 10th, but the partner that did the hard part (conclusion, analysis, etc) left halfway through to go to WIDI. I had to do her part because my other partner had to do the graphs and they took rly l0ong.

Argh!

I need to know really really quick, should all answers be in complete sentences? D:

I think so. The only ones for which complete sentences might not be necessary are stating the variables and possibly qualitative/quantitative observations. I would still state those in complete sentences, though, if you have enough space (on our State event, they gave you a full page for each section. Including the ones that only need one sentence. It was kind of intimidating).

I know... I once forgot an entire section ( ) and when I was lookin over it, the sea of white temporarily blinded me. I hyperventilated. >.>

I hope we place tomorrow. :3

Mini Catapult wasn't that in 2007 at regionals cause i remember that

My team had the whole write up in complete sentences but that was because the person writing is a prefectionist.

That or 06...I really don't remember. We were the only team not to use it
