I am going to C too. It's a shame I couldn't do Env. Chem. at Nats. I would have really liked to do it. (I had a conflict with Dynamic Planet)

same here... I was so mad when it conflicted because they were like my two main events. and I regret doing dynamic planet.... just because the test was so terrible.

but who's doing environmental chem for division C? ;)

I really regret doing this event, it's so random! I had a question about George Washington Carver on my test. Did anyone come into this thinking it would be about hippie-like environmental protection?

No, but I remember going to take the test at states with my partner. We pretty much guessed on all the answers, and still got 6th! And he was wearing a tux, too. (He had something for marching band later that day.)

Well, yes I did, actually.
Every time there's an event or class (*cough APES*) pertaining to the environment, there's always questions designed not to test your knowledge, but just to remind you that polluting is bad. Take AP environmental and you'll agree with me.

And a question on Carver is to be expected, he did so much with agriculture. The other person they ask about a lot is Rachel Carson, author of Silent Spring.

There were three questions on porosity, and there was a lot of data interpretation. I believe the only labs that we actually did were the water retention and the titration. The rest was just interpretation of data that they gave you and general soil chemistry questions

yup. And all of that was too much, me and Artie( guy above me) didn't even answer 17 of the questions.
And about George Washington Carver, he made crop rotation popular. and made hundreds of uses for peanuts!
Yay... peanuts...woooh...
