Objectives/Goals The objective of this project was to study the ripening process of peaches in different container materials to determine which environment caused the sugar production rate t…
CSEF · 2006
Plant Biology
Objectives/Goals Project in plant ecology in which several physiographic factors including slope, aspect and soil types were analyzed to determine the effects on the growth and development o…
CSEF · 2006
Plant Biology
Objectives/Goals Last year I tried to spread diseases from one plant to another, but it did not work. I thought that maybe my experiment from last year did not work because plant diseases ca…
CSEF · 2006
Plant Biology
Objectives/Goals Plants are found all around us, and often arouse a healthy interest. So, I designed a project intended to increase my knowledge of the world I live in. Five experiments were…
CSEF · 2006
Plant Biology
Objectives/Goals Cassava is a staple crop in many third world countries that is an edible but poisonous plant. It produces a cyanogenic glucoside called linamarin, which is hydrolyzed by the…
CSEF · 2006
Plant Biology
Objectives/Goals To determine if there is a relationship between the food energy content of selected herbs and spices categorized according to the Traditional Chinese Dietotheraphy (TCD) ene…
CSEF · 2006
Plant Biology
Objectives/Goals To analyze the absorption of iron in collard greens in the presence of limestone. Methods/Materials Collard greens were grown in silica sand with varying amounts of steel wo…
CSEF · 2006
Plant Biology
Objectives/Goals The objective was to investigate how different soils affect plant growth. It was hypothesized that when radish seeds are placed in potting soil, local soil, sand, and gravel…
CSEF · 2006
Plant Biology
Objectives/Goals My project was to determine if photosynthesis and growth rate affect stomatal density in a growing plant. I believed that photosynthesis drives stomatal density in the growi…
CSEF · 2006
Plant Biology
Objectives/Goals I thought up this experiment when I noticed that there were always different experiments dealing with plants being watered with a typical type of liquid (like soda or vinega…
CSEF · 2006
Plant Biology
Objectives/Goals The purpose of my science project is to investigate do different soils affect a bean plants growth. After my investigation, I will learn which soil best affected a bean plan…
CSEF · 2006
Plant Biology
Objectives/Goals The main goal of this experiment was to find out how extra carbon dioxide affects growing locoweed (Astragalus laynae). This experiment was designed to see how plants might…
CSEF · 2006
Plant Biology
Objectives/Goals I wanted to study what factors caused non-natives to come up earlier than natives in the Sierra Nevada grasslands. I also was interested in why the non-natives seem to grow…
CSEF · 2006
Plant Biology
Objectives/Goals The goal of my experiment is see what happens to plants given fertilizers (inorganic vs. organic) when they stop receiving the fertilizers. Using the results of this experim…
CSEF · 2006
Plant Biology
Objectives/Goals The purpose of this project is to investigate whether the shape of radishes is determined entirely by genetics or if it can be influenced by factors in the environment. Meth…
CSEF · 2006
Plant Biology
Objectives/Goals My goal was to observe which would grow better, seeds germinated in the light or in the dark. Methods/Materials I used four different seeds. Arugula, Sweet Pea, Cantaloupe a…

Plant Biology
Objectives/Goals To experimentally determine if the ripening of a banana is effected by the environment. Methods/Materials First I put the bananas in three different bags. Bag #1 had an unri…
CSEF · 2006
Plant Biology
Objectives/Goals There are two main different ways to grow plants, but which is best for growth efficiency, soil-grown or hydroponics? It is hypothesized that hydroponics is the best method…
CSEF · 2006
Plant Biology
Objectives/Goals In a climate like the Desert, non-native plants to the area are hard to grow outside without constant watch. Gardeners in such a climate could grow these non-native plants i…
