Well, I guess you just have to calibrate it when you get the probe, right? just to make sure.

I'm pretty sure any probes given in competition will be pre-calibrated unless otherwise stated. That process is incredibly time-consuming- we did it in class last year in Earth Science- and chances are nobody would have time to calibrate it, do the tests, and answer the questions in 50 minutes.

At my regional we just used indicator liquid. And in the powerpoint it said that they would be pre-calibrated if you were using a probe.

Hey everyone - Just wondering if anyone has had the Sulfur cycle on their test yet... It said in the Wiki that we needed to know it.

though they could make us calibrate them as one station, just to see if we can

how dense are your notes... i have a bunch of tables of elemental properties that are getting tedious to write, plus a soil triangle, the periodic table with important elements marked, and i am going to add all the elemental cycles and effects of toxins on the environment, but i dont know what else to add
