Aerodynamics/ Hydrodynamics (Junior Division Only)
Third Award
Objectives/Goals The objective of the project was to measure the thrust generated by an electric model aircraft propeller engine and determine if the thrust could be increased by placing the…
Mammalian Biology
Third Award
Objectives/Goals In 2006, the 'Mosquito Ring Tone' became the buzz. Invented in Britain, this 'uniquely created tone' was claimed to be heard only by teenagers. Believing they could possess…
Electronics & Electromagnetics
Third Award
Objectives/Goals The objective for my project is to provide an alternative method for wireless data transmissions to the radio waves that are currently being used. People are becoming more c…
Environmental Engineering
Third Award
Objectives/Goals The objective of my experiment was to determine an economical and efficient method of EDB/DBCP removal in an acute situation of EDB/DBCP contamination by analyzing the chemi…

Third Award
Objectives/Goals The design and construction of a protein folding computer algorithm that maximizes accuracy for biotechnology researchers and scientists to perform flexible protein sequenci…
Physics & Astronomy
Third Award
Objectives/Goals I currently play a 3/4-size violin and will soon need a full-size violin. I wanted to find out if it is possible to quantitatively determine the quality of a violin by analy…
Pharmacology/ Toxicology
Third Award
Objectives/Goals The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of varying phosphate concentrations on the bioluminescence from a marine shrimp, Cypridina hilgendorfii (also Vargula h…
Earth & Planetary Sciences
Third Award
Objectives/Goals Problem: What is the origin of the aplitic dikes present in the Half Dome Granodiorite? Hypothesis: I believe that the aplitic dikes result from the squeezing of silicic mel…
Biochemistry/ Molecular Biology
Third Award
Objectives/Goals While the detection of mutated genomic DNA from cancer cells circulating in blood may be an early indicator of metastasis and may improve tumor staging, the task of detectin…
Cognitive Science (Junior Division Only)
Third Award
Objectives/Goals I heard about a phenomenon known as "inattentional blindness." The article I read said lifeguards sometimes do not notice swimmers drowning at the bottom of a pool because t…
Chemistry
Third Award
Objectives/Goals The objective is to determine if adding a substance during the cyanoacrylate fuming process will make a latent print appear in color. Latent print labs now fume latent print…
Behavioral & Social Sciences
Third Award
Objectives/Goals The object of this experiment was to discover which #indicators that show internal conflict# are the most and least effective in detecting lies. The operational hypothesis w…
Applied Mechanics & Structures
Third Award
Objectives/Goals The Greek inventor of the catapult, Archimedes, found that wheels increase launch distance of projectiles. He might not have known the physics behind his experiments. I want…
Earth & Planetary Sciences
Third Award
Objectives/Goals The main objectives of this project were to study 1) the structural response of a building when founded on different soil types under similar seismic loading and 2) the seis…
Mathematics & Software
Third Award
