Objectives/Goals We tested 20 Bright Yellow Swiss Chard plants to see if watering them with food by-products would affect their growth. We selected corn, rice, beans and eggs because they ar…
CSEF · 2009
Plant Biology
Objectives/Goals There is no doubt that the earth's atmosphere is changing. Since the Industrial Revolution, the CO2 level has risen 30%. Knowing that CO2 plays such an integral part in phot…
CSEF · 2009
Plant Biology
Objectives/Goals The goal of the science project is to determine if different types of fire wood ash would help in the germination, growth and the production yield rate of a plant. Methods/M…
CSEF · 2009
Plant Biology
Objectives/Goals To determine whether growing plants hydroponically outperforms traditional growing methods. Methods/Materials Fifty bell pepper seeds planted in a #Rapid Rooter# rooting sys…
CSEF · 2009
Plant Biology
Objectives/Goals The purpose of this project was to determine if the percentage of water in different varietes of oranges varied. Methods/Materials Materials: 1. Navel and Valencia oranges-…
CSEF · 2009
Plant Biology
Objectives/Goals How is Phaseolus limensis (lima bean) growth affected by the varying pH levels of the water it receives? This will help us understand the impact of acid rain on plant growth…
CSEF · 2009
Plant Biology
Objectives/Goals California is in a drought and water conservation is critical. Landscape watering is the largest use of water for average households. Given this, I want to find out if water…
CSEF · 2009
Plant Biology
Objectives/Goals Carrots will grow sideways when grown in a constantly spinning cage. Based on my research, I believe that the stem of the plant will grow toward the light but the roots will…
CSEF · 2009
Plant Biology Fourth Award
Objectives/Goals The purpose of my project was to determine whether or not an electric field would affect the growth of a snow pea plant. Methods/Materials I chose snow pea plants because th…
CSEF · 2009
Plant Biology Third Award
Objectives/Goals The objective is to determine which manure, chicken, donkey, goat, horse, pheasant, or sheep, has the greatest effect on radishes' biomass. Methods/Materials Each type of ma…
CSEF · 2009
Plant Biology
Objectives/Goals The objective of our project was to see how different amounts of rotation might differently affect the growth of plants. We placed Brassica rapa plants on a turntable for va…
CSEF · 2009
Plant Biology
Objectives/Goals In order to measure the angles of leaves in rotation around a stem I visited the Fullerton Arboretum with my father and sister. We identified a variety of plants, and took p…
CSEF · 2009
Plant Biology
Objectives/Goals How do you keep a green lawn, save almost half of your water bill and conserve water? The answer is to use greywater, any used water around the house (except toilet water).…
CSEF · 2009
Plant Biology
Objectives/Goals The theme of this exhibit is ethanol production using different materials. Ethanol is alcohol that is produced from sugars by the process of fermentation. This experiment is…
CSEF · 2009
Plant Biology
Objectives/Goals The objective is to determine how effective various types of bottled water is for grass growth and does it hold an advantage over different types of water? I predict the gra…
CSEF · 2009
Plant Biology
Objectives/Goals The goal of my project is to see how different environmental factors effect the nutrients in plants by growing tomato and egg plants with magnets and acid rain. Methods/Mate…
CSEF · 2009
Plant Biology
Objectives/Goals If fruit ripening can be altered in a natural way, such as exposure to only certain light wavelengths, then harmful ripening techniques, such as the use of chemicals, will b…
CSEF · 2009
Plant Biology
Objectives/Goals The objective is to grow radishes in pressurized vessels to determine if increased air pressure will be helpful or harmful to the plants. Plants will also be grown in identi…
