General Questions
How does the competition work?
Testing at the region and state competition involves visiting five stations, one for each study unit, located within easy walking distance from other stations at the competition site. Teams move between the competition sites in groups, usually four to five teams per group. At each station site team examinations are administered by the station coordinator. Tests contain many question formats including narrative responses, true/false, fill in the blank, multiple choice, and matching. Teams may also be given a brief presentation by the station coordinator on ecosystem issues important to that station. Teams have 45 minutes per station except at the state, where the presentation station is generally 20 minutes.
Questions come from the study materials posted on the Georgia Envirothon web site. Many of the questions involve investigating the site not just recall of study material to correctly answer the questions. During the state competition, the current environmental topic will involve a team oral presentation that asks the team to solve a specific problem.
