Materials Science (Junior Division Only)
Objectives/Goals My robotic team discovered that the accuracy of the robot's performance decreased as it repeated its task on the challenge course. My objective was to determine if one parti…
Microbiology
Objectives/Goals This experiment tested mold on various building materials in order to determine which substrates are least conducive to growth. Methods/Materials One of each of six building…
Materials Science (Junior Division Only)
Objectives/Goals The objective of my project is to determine whether there are materials that can be more energy efficient when used as an insulation material for homes and buildings. I hypo…
Materials Science (Junior Division Only)
Objectives/Goals The objective of this experiment is to determine which material will muffle the most sound off a drum roll on the snare drum. Methods/Materials The materials used in this pr…
Mammalian Biology
Objectives/Goals My purpose was to see which of five sweeteners were preferred by children and adults, and compare those results with research on the health benefits and risks of the sweeten…
Aerodynamics/ Hydrodynamics
Objectives/Goals My objective in this project was to find out how roofs of different types react to winds of hurricane caliber. Mainly, in doing this project, I hoped to find a solution to o…
Earth Sciences/ Planetary Sciences/ Physical Environments
Objectives/Goals To examine which soil textures can hold the most water (water holding capacity). To check that different soil textures have different water holding capacities. Methods/Mater…
Pharmacology/ Toxicology
Objectives/Goals My goal for this project was to determine if vinegar worked to effectively prevent the growth of bacteria. I felt that if it was a successful antibacterial agent; it would b…
Electricity & Electronics
Objectives/Goals The purpose of my experiment is to determine which materials would cause the most interference for wireless networking: stainless steel, wood, plastic, or glass and at which…
Electricity & Electronics
Objectives/Goals Will putting different materials in a hydrogen fuel cell affect the power output? I think that copper will give off the most power output because it is used in solar cells f…
Pharmacology/ Toxicology
Objectives/Goals My Goal was to find a way to kill mosquito larvae with a more nautral substance. Methods/Materials 40 drops of Eucalyptus oil; 40 granules of Bayer Advanced Garden Mosquito…
Microbiology
Objectives/Goals Have you ever dropped your favorite treat on the ground and you and/or your friends cry out, "10-second rule!" making you feel not gross at all picking it up from the ground…
Microbiology
Objectives/Goals The purpose of this experiment is to find out if the microorganisms bacteria and mold would be inhibited when they are exposed to different illuminations sources that includ…
Materials Science (Junior Division Only)
Objectives/Goals The purpose of this experiment was to expand upon the project I conducted last year. Last year, I determined which clothing material would provide the best insulation when s…
Environmental Engineering
Objectives/Goals The objective of our project is to determine whether building a subsurface constructed flow wetland in the Soquel Creek/Capitola Beach will reduce the e.coli and total colif…

Aerodynamics/ Hydrodynamics
Objectives/Goals This research paper, experiment and analysis is on the efficiency of an airfoil being employed to push a boat using lift compared to that of a lateen sail. It#s purpose is t…
Electricity & Electronics
Objectives/Goals I chose to do my science fair project on wireless technologies, mainly seeing how different commonly used building materials such as sheetrock, cement, wood, and metal affec…
Plant Biology
Objectives/Goals My project was to determine if earthworms affect the growth of a wheat plant. I believe that the more earthworms in the soil, the higher the plant will grow. Methods/Materia…
Microbiology
Objectives/Goals For my Science Project I am testing in what environment yeast will grow best in. Yeast creates alcohol (ethanol) by a process called fermentation. It takes one molecule of s…
