Thank you.

If you follow the rules above, I can't imagine a situation where you'd be penalized. So I'm not sure that you'd need to explicitly ask about it everytime, although you always are allowed to.
But if you really want to, no harm in being that annoying kid that asks all these clarification questions. Better safe than sorry, right?

Re: Chem Lab C
Just wondering, what kinds of things are people putting in their binders? Because as far as I can tell the event is mostly calculation, aside from some of the qualitative analysis stuff and reaction prediction....
2015 events: WIDI, Protein Modeling, Geomapping, Chem Lab
2014 events: WIDI, Geomapping, Materials Science, Food Science
2013 events: WIDI, Mousetrap Vehicle, Heredity, Food Science, Metric Mastery
Best ever place: Nationals, 3rd in WIDI

Re: Chem Lab C
random trivia? and notes and charts too, I guess. We don't even use 90% of it half the time but oh wellGemma W wrote:Just wondering, what kinds of things are people putting in their binders?

Re: Chem Lab C
I put in a copy of the periodic table in case the proctor forgets to give everyone a copy (which is too common in GA) and an activity series chart in case something comes up on the test that's not supposed to be there. That's about all I use.boomvroomshroom wrote:random trivia? and notes and charts too, I guess.

Re: Chem Lab C
I plan on doing this event for the first time and I am curious about what I am allowed to bring into the testing room?

Re: Chem Lab C
For the 2015 event, students were allowed to bring safety equipment, a calculator, a binder, and writing implements. Event supervisors would provide everything else for the lab.karan_hooda wrote:I plan on doing this event for the first time and I am curious about what I am allowed to bring into the testing room?
