Which Fruits Have the Most Sugar?

Biochemistry/ Molecular Biology (Junior Division)

The purpose of my project is to find which fruit has the most sugar by measuring it with a refractometer (Sugar Brix). All ripe fruits that I used for my experiment are pineapple,grapes, gol…

CSEF · 2026

Which Insulation is Best?

Materials Science (Junior Division)

In this experiment, we examined four different insulators to see which one provides the best insulation for a model house. We installed these insulators in four miniature houses that we buil…

CSEF · 2026

Which Type of Bridge Is the Strongest?

Applied Mechanics (Junior Division)

My project, "Which is the strongest bridge?" focuses on the Pratt truss, suspension, and arch bridges. My purpose with this idea was to investigate the qualities of each bridge to assist arc…
