Experimental Design: practice a lot a lot a lot. know some stats. (standard deviation, etc.) make sure at least one person knows physics, and at least one person knows chemistry.

Cell Bio: know your organelles, know how photosynthesis and respiration works, know transcription/translation

Forensics: ahhh, my favorite event. this one is a b****. know how to identify all the chemicals, all the fibers, all the plastics, and practice doing them. know fingerprint characteristics and lifting methods really well, and practice being able to compare fingerprints quickly. know lots of spectroscopy. the other things aren’t as important, but always help.
