Re: Crime Busters B
We also bring 1 set of test tubes and about 2 or 3 petri dishes (although they haven't come in handy just yet). However, we bring about 10 spot plates, give or take a few. This saves time!! You do not have to spend time cleaning your spot plates out and drying them, when you can just take a new one and wash them towards the end!! This saves so much time, as CB is a very fast-paced event! As for the flasks and beakers, we bring two flasks (our box is for both PP and CB) and 6 beakers (1 600 mL, 1 400 mL, 2 250 mL, and 2 100 mL). We pack them together, putting paper towels in between them to avoid breakages, while also getting our paper towels in our box!CPScienceDude wrote:I bring 1 set of test tubes, some Petri dishes, a spot plate, and 4 beakers of different sizes.qk11 wrote:How many beakers, erlenmeyer flasks, graduated cylinders, and test tubes should a team bring for Crimebusters?

Re: Crime Busters B
Good morning.
I have a question about Candles. Are candles and matches supposed to be in our box for Crime?

Re: Crime Busters B
Yeah, we bring a hand lens too! It has been helpful for differentiating between salt and sugar, although we don't always need it! It's definitely a huge help at invys and regionals!CPScienceDude wrote:I also bring a magnifying glass to help differentiate between salt and sugar.Rivkaaa wrote:We also bring 1 set of test tubes and about 2 or 3 petri dishes (although they haven't come in handy just yet).
