Plant Biology
Objectives/Goals To complete an investigation to determine if vegetable seeds under artificial gravity or an electromagnetic field germinate faster or grow better. The product of these effec…
CSEF · 2007
Plant Biology
Objectives/Goals Eucalyptus is a prolific litter producer, prone to dropping leaves and barks, and Eucalyptus trees rarely have an understory. If allelochemicals are released from Eucalyptus…

Plant Biology First Award
Objectives/Goals If 30 native Mojave Desert shrub species are collected, then a relative flammability rating system can be developed based on the variables of combustibility, sustainability,…
CSEF · 2007
Plant Biology
Objectives/Goals The objective of this investigation was to learn if colored light effects the growth of Italian Bush Beans. The operational hypothesis was that if Italian Bush Bean seeds ar…
CSEF · 2007
Plant Biology
Objectives/Goals Plants need light to perform photosynthesis and to grow. Do different colors of light lead to different rates of plant growth? Methods/Materials I made a greenhouse with fou…
CSEF · 2007
Plant Biology
Objectives/Goals Query: Research has been conducted on the effect of magnetic influence on increasing vigor and germination of seeds. If this effect is observed on seeds, does it also occur…
CSEF · 2007
Plant Biology
Objectives/Goals This experiment will determine what happens to Oakleaf lettuce (luctuca sativa) when sodium chloride is added into the plants water. It is my hypothesis that the two plant g…
CSEF · 2007
Plant Biology
Objectives/Goals The objective of this project is to show the effect of overcrowding on plant quality. Methods/Materials Radish plants were selected for this experiment because of their quic…
CSEF · 2007
Plant Biology Honorable_mention Award
Objectives/Goals Most of us only think of fungi as pathogens, parasites and decomposers. The purpose of my project is to call attention to the important role of fungi in symbiosis with plant…
CSEF · 2007
Plant Biology Honorable_mention Award
Objectives/Goals Growing in the sand is the plant Sea Rocket (Cakile edentula) that produces a floating fruit in order to spread its seeds along the beach. The fruit of the Sea Rocket is div…
CSEF · 2007
Plant Biology
Objectives/Goals The objective of this experiment was to determine if there was a relationship between a pattern of transpiration and how long plants are in the sun. The hypothesis was that…
