Students must be supervised during any laboratory event practice. In all lab events, each team member must wear goggles for eye protection and an apron or lab coat. In the lab rooms, shoes must be worn that do not have open spaces and cover the entire foot; sandals and open-toe shoes are not acceptable.
There are two competitive tracks:
- Level I: For students who have not taken and are not currently taking AP Chemistry or IB Chemistry, and have not previously participated in Chemathon.
- Level II: Aimed at students at the AP and/or IB level as well as previous contestants; will be open to all students, subject to rules of the Chemathon.
