CSEF · 2015
Plant Biology
Objectives/Goals The objective of the project was to find out if a plant needs to photosynthesize if they are given the materials produced in photosynthesis, or if they have the capability t…
CSEF · 2015
Plant Biology First Award
Objectives/Goals Rhizomania poses a major problem to sugar beet worldwide, as it not only causes physical harm to the roots but also reduces the quality of sugar yield by up to 95%. Rhizoman…
CSEF · 2015
Plant Biology
Objectives/Goals To study dissolved oxygen levels in water studying if aquatic plants make more dissolved oxygen than the mechanical stage of a filter, or an aquarium with just water. The di…
CSEF · 2015
Plant Biology
Objectives/Goals We want to see if fertilizers can help a plant live longer during drought and if it can live longer during drought, we want to find out why. Methods/Materials Pea plants, Ir…
CSEF · 2015
Plant Biology Fourth Award
Objectives/Goals The purpose of my science fair experiment was to determine if aged bovine manure loses its nutrient levels and effectiveness as a plant fertilizer over time. I investigated…
CSEF · 2015
Plant Biology
Objectives/Goals It is a well known fact that the rate of photosynthesis is dependent on the type and intensity of the light source. My goal was to determine the best source of artificial li…
CSEF · 2015
Plant Biology
Objectives/Goals The objective of this project is to find the effect of wind speed on seed dispersal using dandelions and fan to mimic wind. I believe that the higher the wind speed, the fur…
CSEF · 2015
Plant Biology
Objectives/Goals In my research, I have found that nutrient pollution is one of the most prominent problems in America. Excess nitrogen and phosphorus can lead to eutrophication and algal bl…
CSEF · 2015
Plant Biology
Objectives/Goals The purpose of the project was to determine the effect of the duration of electric field on tomato plant growth. It has been established through research that the presence o…
