CSEF · 2009
Environmental Science (Junior Division Only)
Objectives/Goals The question that my project hoped to answer was if tide type or the height of the tide had any effect on bacterial and chemical levels in ocean water. I tested different ti…
CSEF · 2009
Environmental Science (Junior Division Only)
Objectives/Goals What is the oxygen,NO3(nitrate) and NO2(nitrite) levels in Gibson,Orr,McClure,Mill and Hensley creeks,and the health of the water relative to these levels. We hypothesized t…
CSEF · 2009
Environmental Science (Junior Division Only)
Objectives/Goals The water in Wolf Creek looks fresh and clear, but how clean is it really? This experiment tested the cleanliness of the creek and surrounding areas to find out if contamina…
CSEF · 2008
Environmental Science (Junior Division Only) Honorable_mention Award
Objectives/Goals Acid rain changes soil chemistry by leaching plant nutrients in the form of salts from the soil and lowering the soil pH. Soil salinity is the salt content of soil. As soil…
