The one you forgot was formulas, and the group challenge was carrying a ball on all of our backs, and interpreting a meteorology wind chart
sounds like i would have aced that... 1st at states in meteorology and on my soccer team...

you pretty much have to have a team that is good in all fields of science, or at least know some general stuff in each field, to do good.

yeah i aced my academic part
i had anatomy
and jump roping (i'm a girl so i could acutally jump rope) then i also do meteo
the outcome would have been very different if our roles were switched
we basically ended up w/ stuff we knew about
