Earth & Planetary Sciences Third Award
Objectives/Goals Our investigation asked whether animal and plant fossils from the Barstovian Miocene period could be used to reconstruct an ancient ecosystem. We compared isolated Merychipp…
CSEF · 2013
Earth & Planetary Sciences
Objectives/Goals My objective was to determine which organic material had the least soil compaction rate and allowed for the best plant growth. My goal was to prove that grape extract had th…
CSEF · 2013
Earth & Planetary Sciences
Objectives/Goals The purpose of this experiment was to investigate the characteristics of different grain sizes of soil by determining their porosity and permeability and how these affect ea…
CSEF · 2012
Earth & Planetary Sciences Fourth Award
Objectives/Goals This experiment examined whether the local variables of temperature, humidity and barometric pressure influence the frequency of muon strikes at sea level. Methods/Materials…
CSEF · 2012
Earth & Planetary Sciences
Objectives/Goals My hypothesis is that the result numbers of the soil were going to go down. I made this hypothesis because the thermometer was being pushed in further down in all the soils.…
CSEF · 2012
Earth & Planetary Sciences
Objectives/Goals If oxygenic photosynthesis had evolved in the Archean (>2.5 bya) then Archean sedimentary rocks should be rich in organic carbon regardless of their proximity to hydrotherma…
CSEF · 2012
