NJCO Event Descriptions
Event Descriptions
On 3/27/2025, the core committee of the NJCO25 made the following decision regarding qualifications for team scoring:
==> All teams must participate in at least FOUR events and a maximum of SIX events to qualify for team scoring.
==> Teams are NOT required to select one event from each category for eligibility in team scoring.
==> As a corollary to the items above, selecting four to six events can be derived solely from events 2 to 8.
Research EventsAll research events are required to conduct guided or inquiry research about the topic selected. For all research events, it is expected that teams will follow the Scientific Method or Engineering Design Method to achieve their goal.

General EventsThese events allow students to learn about and then demonstrate their knowledge of a variety of chemistry topics. |
Lab / Other EventsLab events allow students to prepare for and complete a particular laboratory analysis. Selecting or researching their own procedure, teams prepare to demonstrate excellent lab technique that results in good accuracy & precision in the lab.
