Environmental Science (Junior Division Only)
Objectives/Goals The goal of my project is to determine if culex pipen (mosquito specie), is able to transport oral bacteria (bacillus). Methods/Materials Bacillus was obtained from my mouth…
CSEF · 2004
Environmental Science (Junior Division Only)
Objectives/Goals The objective of my project is to find out if airborne pollutants effect our water cycle. I'll then test these affected water samples on seed germination. Methods/Materials…
CSEF · 2004
Environmental Science (Junior Division Only)
Objectives/Goals The objective is to determine what material, when commonly burned, gives off the most black carbon particulate and contributes to the San Joaquin Valley's poor air quality.…
CSEF · 2004
Environmental Science (Junior Division Only)
Objectives/Goals Chemical pollutants that flow into the storm drain go directly into creeks and the Bay without treatment, making stormwater pollution a threat to aquatic communities. Reside…
CSEF · 2004
Environmental Science (Junior Division Only)
Objectives/Goals From my experiment I am trying to prove which object (styrofoam, vinyl material, cotton material, newspaper, or cardboard), has more harmful elements, (ash and smoke) to the…
CSEF · 2004
Environmental Science (Junior Division Only)
Objectives/Goals How can I detect, analyze and locate toxic pollution levels in the Hickory Creek watershed? I will determine which type of Bioassay is the best for detecting pollution. Then…
CSEF · 2004
Environmental Science (Junior Division Only)
Objectives/Goals The objective of my project was to find out if plants affect the temperature in a sealed box. I think plants will lower the temperature in the box compared to the box withou…
CSEF · 2004
Environmental Science (Junior Division Only)
Objectives/Goals The purpose of my science fair project is to investigate the growth of radish seeds in various ash and soil combinations. I am trying to find out if slash and burn technique…
CSEF · 2004
Environmental Science (Junior Division Only)
Objectives/Goals Our objective was to determine which concentration of Nitrate, Phosphate and combination of the two would lead to the greatest increase in algae growth. Our hypothesis is th…
CSEF · 2004
Environmental Science (Junior Division Only)
Objectives/Goals Our project was to determine if the amount of contaminants in Madrona Marsh soil increased as we sampled away from Madrona Avenue. Using soil samples; we tested to see if th…
CSEF · 2004
Environmental Science (Junior Division Only)
Objectives/Goals Nitrogen pollution in the environment results mainly from the over-use of nitrogen-based fertilizers in agriculture. Crops often cannot absorb all the nitrogen added. During…
CSEF · 2004
Environmental Science (Junior Division Only)
Objectives/Goals The objective of this project was to examine the recovery of flora after the fire in the coastal chaparral of Southern California. The first species to recover after a fire…
CSEF · 2004
Environmental Science (Junior Division Only)
Objectives/Goals My objective was to find out if different concentrations of stormwater runoff pollutants affect brine shrimp and algae differently. Methods/Materials The brine shrimp and al…
CSEF · 2004
Environmental Science (Junior Division Only)
Objectives/Goals There are two main objectives of this experiment: to create a mathematical model showing the relationship between turbidity, dissolved oxygen, pH, and the levels of indicato…
CSEF · 2004
Environmental Science (Junior Division Only)
Objectives/Goals Environmental exposure to man-made electromagnetic fields has been steadily increasing with growing electricity demand and ever-advancing technology. There are conflicting s…
CSEF · 2004
