What Events do you plan on doing next year?

For anything Science Olympiad-related that might not fall under a specific event or competition.

Hopefully Dynamic, Water Quality, and Experimental, just like this year! :)

Though I'm curious to do something like Mission Possible / Complex Machines because it seems interesting (and I want redemption :x )

I always thought that Complex Machines was a Division C event of Simple Machines. Maybe I'm right? :O
Would you recommend Experimental Design? It seems pretty hard to medal.

Exp. design is so much fun! Basically all you have to do is memorize the rubric and have a basic knowledge of different types of science ranging from biology to physics. The most important thing is practice!

But even if you know everything and practice a lot, couldn't you fail the competition if your experiment isn't good enough?

Yeah, you have to have the right experiment in order to do well. That just takes about 2-3 minutes of planning before you start in order to make sure your experiment is good.

I'll probably be on Entemology or Invasive if it becomes an event with the same person. We're both ID specialists, so we'll probably be stuck with one or the other if not both.

I want Can't Judge a Powder, but I assume I won't get it.

After this year, I don't think I'll do Sounds again. It's just too stressful for me, and I DON'T need any more mental breakdowns.
Ugghh... Sounds... It was fun and all and we were good at it but... too much stress...... :cry:

Basically the same events as this year: Anatomy, Crime Busters, and Heredity. I wanted to do Mousetrap Vehicle, but they're taking it out, so I might be doing another Build Event (possibly Helicopters). Depends.. xD

I may or may not do Elastic Launched Glider. But Entomology and WQ definitely. Forensics... Maybe. And I'm going to help my brother with Designer Genes.

I hate Entomology...Super scary! And the Part B of Water Quality...BUGS ARE EVIL!

I've never understood why people have problems with bugs. They certainly aren't scary, unless they have the potential to hurt me or anyone else.
