Re: Fossils B/C
What did you guys research and put in your binder for adaptations and morphological features of major fossils groups. Did you guys put pictures of brachiopods, bivalves , and etc. or did you write a description. Also how in depth did you go for fossils as evidence for evolutionary trends and for ma...

Re: Forensics C
I was wondering: suggestions for splitting the work during the competition? I'm thinking about a lab/test split carried over from Crime Busters, but I'm worried I'm not doing enough work that way... I think having each partner deal with a few types of samples and any related questions (e.g. one doe...

Re: Crime Busters B
I think my coach told us the day before our invitationals that they wanted to make clarification on the rules. I think you're only allowed one sheet of paper, not two. The same wording was used for forensics last year and 2 sheets were allowed at competition, so most likely that’s what they intended.

Congrats! That sounds like a cool instrument.Doctheduck wrote: ↑December 12th, 2019, 12:40 pm This year my partner and I a slidable drum type thing, sort of like a drum and trombone combined. It registered all of the pitches quite well and we were able to place 1st at states with it (In MT obviously so maybe not the toughest competition)
