O.O That is scary. I wonder if they'll win this year?

Anyway, back on topic.

We still need to be more in depth on the theory peny-something wrote.

And? what about it?

[Avis_de-Incendia]

Well, how does the acid do it? I want to know that.

[2win]

I'm not sure, but I have it on my notes.

When I was in regionals, the last question was What's dihydrogen monoxide?
We got that one wrong... but still got second...

For sure, I'll NEVER forget that again!

AsllaPiscu made the same mistake, don't worry. It was a good thing I was there. Do you have any questions for your notes?

[dosmotak]

I've only taken one Eviro. Chem test, and that was at regionals, so I don't know what to base my note sheet on, except just basic soil information.

Go to the wiki. It has, almost literally, everything that you will ever need for this event.

At NY States yesterday, the test was 5 parts- not really stations, since you had everything in front of you, but sort of. One had a soil texture triangle and a bunch of questions about it, one had two soil samples- you had to write down observations and then test them for a carbonate ion and for salts (using a conductivity meter), one was about 50 multiple choice and short answer questions, one had a plant with problems that you had to observe and then figure out what deficiencies it was suffering from... and I don't remember the other one, because my partner did it entirely on her own while I was working on the multiple choice section.

We got 2nd, btw.

did they give you instructions for the salts and carbonate ion tests?
