Mammalian Biology
Third Award
Objectives/Goals Mammography has been one of the most reliable methods for early detection and diagnosis of breast cancer. However, mammography misses about 17% and up to 30% of breast cance…
Mammalian Biology
Objectives/Goals To record and observe the dietary and metabolic affects of artificial sweeteners such as Saccharin and Sucralose on the common mouse (Mus Musculus). Methods/Materials Materi…
Mammalian Biology
Honorable_mention Award
Objectives/Goals DCIS is heterogeneous without clear prognostic indicators for recurrence defined in terms of DCIS or IC. While the Van Nuys Prognostic Index (VNPI) has been used clinically…
Zoology
Objectives/Goals In this project, I monitored the biodiversity and abundance of birds in four different habitats (meadow, river-meadow, river-redwood, and redwood) in Henry Cowell Redwoods S…
Zoology
Objectives/Goals Questions: When do flashlight fish light up the most and what may cause it? Hypothesis: I believe the flashlight fish will light up the most during a feed as flashlight fish…
Zoology
Objectives/Goals The question to be answered is what is the breeding season of the Cephaloscyllium ventriosum. The main objective was to record a definite breeding season of the California s…
Zoology
Second Award
Objectives/Goals To determine whether trail pheromones used by Argentine Ants can communicate the quality of a food source. Methods/Materials Solutions varying in sugar concentrations were p…
Mammalian Biology
Objectives/Goals My objective in this experiment is to see if the high frame rate monitors of today are really worth it to gamers and if people can tell the difference. The main point of thi…
Zoology
Objectives/Goals My objective in Frogs and Quakes III, is to build on the past two years of projects and see if tree frog behavior could be used as a cost-effective earthquake early warning…
Mammalian Biology
Objectives/Goals The purpose of this experiment was to test the accuracy of "The Rabbit Register" computer program's calculation of offspring produced from a chestnut to black otter breeding…
Mammalian Biology
Objectives/Goals The goal of this study was to determine differences in chemical composition in milk from cows treated with rBST and cows not treated with rBST after the pasteurization proce…
Zoology
Objectives/Goals A fundamental problem in zoology is how convergent evolution works at the molecular level. Euprymna scolopes and Uroteuthis edulis are distantly related species of biolumine…
Mammalian Biology
Objectives/Goals This study was conducted to test the efficiency of human adipose stem cell (hASCs) differentiation into chondrocytes and osteocytes. HASCs were used to differentiate into ch…
Zoology
Objectives/Goals My science fair project was to see if ants preferred artificial or natural sugars. The sugars that were used were saccharin (artificial), brown (natural/non-artificial), asp…
Mammalian Biology
Objectives/Goals For this project we hope we can find out what type of music dog's will prefer. We would also like to find out a way to stop separation anxiety in dogs by using one of the mo…
Mammalian Biology
Objectives/Goals In our experiment, we will test numerous canines and felines using different tests, research information on their brain waves, and research companionship with humans to see…
Mammalian Biology
Objectives/Goals My initial investigative question was to ask "Do people with dyslexia have better peripheral vision than people without this learning difference?" I wanted to test the perip…
Mammalian Biology
Objectives/Goals My project is to see if ear candling actually sucks up ear wax. I believe that ear candling works because my ears get full of ear wax and my mom candles my ears and they fee…
Mammalian Biology
Objectives/Goals The purpose of this project was to determine if left-brain and right-brain hemisphere activity could be recorded on an EEG to indicate (left brain) mental imagery/preparatio…
Zoology
Objectives/Goals Octopuses in the wild live in an environment in which they can manipulate their surroundings, though this is not always true in captivity. This experiment strived to determi…
Mammalian Biology
Objectives/Goals In this experiment, animals will use their paws for many things but, some scientist don't know what paw the animals favor. My hypothesis is that cats will be more left-pawed…
Mammalian Biology
Objectives/Goals My objective of my project is if the type and pattern of fingerprints are passed down from parent to offspring and if they show resemblance between family members. My hypoth…
Mammalian Biology
Honorable_mention Award
Objectives/Goals My project was to determine if string players do have longer left hand fingers. Wolff's law states that human bones will adapt to the pressure it receives. Supported by that…
Zoology
First Award
Objectives/Goals While observing birds in coastal salt marshes along the California coast, I began to speculate on the possible impact of human presence on birds in these habitats. The goal…
Zoology
Objectives/Goals Drosophila melanogaster, a small fruit fly, feeds and lives on fruit because of the high sugar content of most fruits. D. Melanogaster originated in Africa, about 10,000 yea…
