Plant Biology
Objectives/Goals This year I will take my previous mixture of 50% Colorado, 30% Reclaimed, 20% Aquifer and compare it to mixtures used currently by golf course superintendents. I will look f…
CSEF · 2015
Plant Biology
Objectives/Goals In a drought, it is important to save water. A way to do this is to give less water to plants. A common Californian crop is Pisum sativum, the sugar-snap pea plant. This pro…
CSEF · 2015
Plant Biology Fourth Award
Objectives/Goals The purpose of this experiment was to test whether zeolites, a group of porous, altered volcanic minerals, can enhance plant growth in combination with chicken manure beyond…
CSEF · 2014
Plant Biology Honorable_mention Award
Objectives/Goals The goal of the project was to develop an RNA interference (RNAi)-based highly specific, bio-pesticide for the control of the psyllid vector of citrus greening disease. Citr…
CSEF · 2014
Plant Biology
Objectives/Goals The objective is to maximize the amount of Carbon dioxide taken in during photosynthesis by Red Mangrove plants, which act as natural carbon sinks, in order to alleviate the…
CSEF · 2014
Plant Biology
Objectives/Goals The objective of this project is to investigate whether or not an aquaponics system can grow taller crops than those growing in fertilized soil. Aquaponics is a method for g…
CSEF · 2014
Plant Biology
Objectives/Goals My objective of this project is to grow plants using an eco-friendly environment with no pesticides. I predicted that if I grew plants in an Aquaponics system, that they wou…
CSEF · 2014
Plant Biology Honorable_mention Award
Objectives/Goals The purpose of this experiment was to test the allelopathic (seed growth suppressing) properties of four different types of trees on Oat Grass. Methods/Materials The trees u…
CSEF · 2014
Plant Biology
Objectives/Goals The purpose of my experiment was to examine how carbon dioxide affects an aquatic plants growth speed. My goal was to figure out whether or not the plants were influenced by…
CSEF · 2014
Plant Biology
Objectives/Goals The objective of my project was to see which piece of a cabbages stem would grow the best if the stem pieces were placed under the same conditions. My hypothesis states that…
CSEF · 2014
Plant Biology
Objectives/Goals My objective was to determine which type of soil would best promote growing cotton. Methods/Materials I used four very different types of soil (dirt from a dormant cotton fi…
CSEF · 2014
Plant Biology
Objectives/Goals For this year's science project I chose to investigate: Could Algal Blooms be Expelled from Water Sources Using Colored Light Filters? I am interested in this topic because…
CSEF · 2014
Plant Biology
Objectives/Goals The objective of the project is to develop conditions that can be used to identify C. reinhardtii individuals that are unable to export fatty acids from the plastid to the e…
CSEF · 2014
Plant Biology
Objectives/Goals My project was done to determine whether alkaline water, acid water, sugar water, or regular tap water would help plants germinate faster and bigger. My goal is to prove whi…
CSEF · 2014
Plant Biology
Objectives/Goals The objective of the project is to use chromatography to measure whether non-green plants still have chlorophyll. Methods/Materials I will be measuring or testing my hypothe…
CSEF · 2014
Plant Biology
Objectives/Goals This project was triggered by a simple challenge that my mother made to use my skills to figure out why her plants do not grow as well as those of our neighbor. Hence I deci…
CSEF · 2014
Plant Biology Fourth Award
Objectives/Goals It is known that priming seeds with water can enhance the tolerance to saline growth conditions compared to seeds that are not primed. My objective was to examine the effect…
