There is a master list for concepts at : http://www.groundwater.org/pe/docs_so/AABstudyguide.pdf.
That sounds like a really crazy competition. (in other words, I would've loved to compete in it ;) )

@TYG: Yes, they can.

Haha.

Anyway, I didn't know that the event supervisors could make up their own concepts. Where did you find anything that says this?

Bah. I thought I remembered seeing something that said the concepts weren't limited to things on the list, but I can't find it now. My mistake.

the thing is, the top is labelled "sample" so wouldn't that imply that there are other concepts?

The manual said to check soinc.org for a list of concepts, and all the website did was link to the groundwater.org page.

The bottom line is that if there's some ambiguity, a test writer could potentially add in a concept not on that list. It hasn't happened yet to anyone on this forum, so I think the nationals writer will just stick with the list.

Okay, thanks, that clears up a lot. Now I actually know what I should practice.

Does iodine count as a 'dangerous chemical'?
Has anyone tried using it as a pollutant at state?

Personally, I would not think it was a dangerous chemical.

For states, we used food coloring. I would just stick with that to be safe.

I was just thinking of doing iodine and the dialysis tubing thing, except I just realized that that would take a little too long :/
