  • FOR IN-PERSON NJCOs:  All teams are required to select at least one event from each category to qualify for team scoring.

 

Research Events

All 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.  Click on the links below for this year's description of each research event. 

General Events

These events allow students to learn about and then demonstrate their knowledge of a variety of chemistry topics.  

Lab / Other Events

Lab 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.  Click on the links below for this year's lab events.
