In this project, peas will be grown using different laundry greywaters to see which laundry greywater is best for plant growth.
CYSF · 2025
The government has put a ban on cell phone use in schools for the 2024-2025 school year. In this project I will research how effective it has been in achieving their goals of getting student…
JSHS · 2025
Current sports concussion exams are largely founded on either expert consensus (e.g., SCAT6) or the examiner's discretion. A mTBI results in subtle damage to a diffuse network of neuronal co…
ISEF · 2025
Cellular and Molecular Biology
Mismatch repair (MMR) deficiency in DNA is an ongoing problem as a factor behind DNA mutations and various cancers, including colorectal cancer and gliomas. Understanding how to strengthen D…
