Earth Sciences/ Planetary Sciences/ Physical Environments
Objectives/Goals The objective is to map out a record of sea surface temperature during the past through oxygen isotope analysis of the shells of fossil plankton foraminifera. Methods/Materi…
Earth Sciences/ Planetary Sciences/ Physical Environments
Objectives/Goals To find out what variables might affect the eruption cycles of geysers. Methods/Materials In this project, different variables were tested in a simulation geyser, to see how…
Earth Sciences/ Planetary Sciences/ Physical Environments
Objectives/Goals The purpose of this experiment is to show how the different saturation rates of soil samples effect erosion. I will test this by showing which of four soil samples can retai…
Earth Sciences/ Planetary Sciences/ Physical Environments
Objectives/Goals To determine if and how solar activities affect the Earth's magnetic field. The independent variable is the degree of solar activity. Dependant variables are the changes in…
Earth Sciences/ Planetary Sciences/ Physical Environments
Objectives/Goals To determine which speed creates the most dust in the air.I drove a farm truck through the desert and used a vaccumm cleaner to collect the dust that was stirred into the ai…
Earth Sciences/ Planetary Sciences/ Physical Environments
Objectives/Goals Determine an average percolation rate of toxic chemicals on different soil types and compacted soil types. Methods/Materials Using 5 soil types (farming/agriculture, playgro…
Earth Sciences/ Planetary Sciences/ Physical Environments
Objectives/Goals The main reanon I'm doing my science project on the engineering properties of soil is to show what soils are good for building on and why it is an important step in construc…
Earth Sciences/ Planetary Sciences/ Physical Environments
Objectives/Goals The purpose of my project is to explore whether or not pollution accumulates in storm drain water as it flows down a storm drain pipeline system. Methods/Materials I conduct…
Earth Sciences/ Planetary Sciences/ Physical Environments
Objectives/Goals Will a size and heat controlled geyser erupt on a consistant schedule allowing for mulitple advanced eruption predictions. Methods/Materials 7 gal trashcan, 3ft braided plas…
Earth Sciences/ Planetary Sciences/ Physical Environments
Objectives/Goals Our objective was to find out how the chemical and biological factors are affected by golf courses along the San Joaquin River. Methods/Materials Chemical Test Materials/Met…
Earth Sciences/ Planetary Sciences/ Physical Environments
Objectives/Goals To calculate how much water Owl Canyon soil could hold, and compare this with how much water it does hold once saturated with autumn and winter rains. Also to observe increa…
Earth Sciences/ Planetary Sciences/ Physical Environments
Objectives/Goals My objective is to find out which type of soil will hold in the most moisture over a period of time: Potting, Sand, Clay, or Mixed soil. I believe that potting soil will ret…
Earth Sciences/ Planetary Sciences/ Physical Environments
Objectives/Goals The thermal induction of atmospheric and marine currents is a project designed to illustrate how complex currents can be generated between two standing bodies of water or ai…
Earth Sciences/ Planetary Sciences/ Physical Environments
Objectives/Goals The tide pools of Monterey Bay are an important aspect of the coastal ecosystem. Tourists visit the beaches and explore the tide pools on a regular basis. Occasionally touri…
Earth Sciences/ Planetary Sciences/ Physical Environments
Objectives/Goals My project was to determine which soil retains the most water. My independent variable was the water retained by the soil under the pull of gravity (field capacity) My depen…
Earth Sciences/ Planetary Sciences/ Physical Environments
Objectives/Goals I did this project because I was curious to know how different the soil in front of Riverside Cement Company was and why. My goal was to find the physical and chemical prope…
Earth Sciences/ Planetary Sciences/ Physical Environments
Objectives/Goals My project was to find out if temperature is affected by solar radiation. I predicted that on days with less solar radiation, the outdoor temperature would be cooler than on…
Earth Sciences/ Planetary Sciences/ Physical Environments
Objectives/Goals The objective is to see what factor has the greatest effect on the rate of evaporation of water. Factors tested were surface area, wind speed, air temperature and water temp…
