Re: Forensics C
I was wondering how in-depth I should go when it comes to the powders/crystals. I assume I have to know how they react with different chemicals, the flame tests, what they can be found in, and their chemical formulas. How far should I go after that? Is there anything specific I should know about th...

Re: Crime Busters B
I've been having trouble finding the reactions of the white powders and potassium iodide. I really have no way to test them out myself, so can someone help me out? Iodine is mainly for cornstarch, which will very distinctively turn a dark blue/black, and to distinguish between sodium carbonate and ...

Re:
Hi uh how do you differentiate between genus astarte and genus glycymeris?? thnx It looks like there’s a subtle difference in the shape around the umbo and hinge. Astarte has a sharper umbo and curves slightly while glycymeris has a rounder umbo and is more symmetrical around the umbo and hinge. No...

Re: Plastics and Fibers
You can also start collecting your own samples from old clothes and plastic containers.CPScienceDude wrote: ↑November 3rd, 2019, 6:33 pmI think the North Carolina Scioly website has some. They are frequently out of stock though.

Re: Fossils B/C
Yeah there are some fossils that have a lot more information associated with themDragonTownEpic wrote: ↑November 3rd, 2019, 7:57 pmHowever if the information found exceeds one page, you should definitely allow more than one page per fossil.

Re: Forensics C
You are given a mass spectra of a gas that has a molecular ion peak at m/z = 44. The largest peak is at m/z = 29 and there is a small peak at m/z = 15. What was the gas? Argon? I have no idea how to actually do these so that's probably wrong. Think about how a mass spectrometer works - when the sam...

Re: Sounds of Music C
You’re at a Fall Out Boy concert and are 7 meters from a speaker. You determine that the music is 90 dB where you are, and it’s too loud. So, you decide to go further from the speaker until it’s only 60 dB. How far are you from the stage now? A decrease of 30 dB corresponds to a decrease in sound i...
