Pretty much the only difference is the statistics I think. C division does Standard Deviation as well.

Yeah it's really just a little more math, although the event supervisor may choose to make their experiments involve more sophisticated tools.
This event is a big help in learning the Scientific Method, and it's really fun in general. I can't wait to participate this year

We were told to do standard deviation in class and I was like: "psh. I know what's up"

Because Standard Deviation is SUCH a complex operation

SO many people don't get it though even after they look it up...

really? that is for Division C only? Last year my coach had us practice that for competition. I'm so excited though

I did that last year 2, but we screwed up at state and got a disappointing 5th. Are team wasn't even called.
