Earth & Atmospheric Sciences (Junior Division Only)
Objectives/Goals The goal of my project was to see the growth process of stalactites and stalagmites. I kept record of the speleothems to document how long it took them to fully develop and…
Alternative Energy (Junior Division Only)
Third Award
Objectives/Goals The goal was to understand thermoelectric/seebeck effect and apply the learnings in our daily lives by the creating a prototype that harnesses body heat to power a belt that…
Physics & Astronomy
Objectives/Goals The objective of my project is to explore how temperature affects the lifting ability of a helium balloon. My hypothesis is that when the helium inside the balloon is warmer…
Methylparaben is the preservative commonly used in cosmetic, pharmaceutical, and industrial products. It is a biodegradable substance, however; it cannot be completely removed during wastewa…
The EPA is setting a new standard on nitrogen concentration in effluent water at water treatment plants; due to high amounts of nitrogen commonly present in this water, the current form of r…
After deep and continuous searching for months in the field of optical lenses' cutting machines, and after reaching Jordan's biggest universities, and contacting many specialists and profess…
Chemistry
Fourth Award
Objectives/Goals The objective is to expand upon previous personal research and focus on a comparison of the electrical efficiency of iron (III) and copper (II) salts in phosphate solutions…
Second Award
This project was developed from an institutional program that looks to link curriculum content with specific problems of the community to which our school belongs. It is intended to transfer…
Conventional water analysis typically makes it difficult to efficiently determine a broad range of water contaminants. To improve health worldwide, an economical method for determining water…
Gas bubble disease, a disease that causes pop eyes or even deaths in fish has aroused much concern these days. This disease which is caused by supersaturation of different kinds of dissolved…
Biomedical Engineering
Fourth Award
Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD) is an inherited disorder that involves muscle weakness and occurs in approximately 1 out of every 3,600 male infants. The average life expectancy for indivi…
Microbiology (General)
Objectives/Goals The purpose of this project is to create an accurate and useful computer model that portrays the effects of the spread of infectious disease and how different mortality rate…
Amyloid proteins are the key proteins in Alzheimer’s disease. In humans, elevated levels of Amyloid Precursor Proteins (APP) can lead to a buildup of Amyloid-B plaques, which ultimately redu…
Biomedical Engineering
Third Award
We don’t think about it, but many of our daily actions require our hands. But the truth is not everyone is fortunate to have their hands by their side. Prosthetics are available but they eit…
Electronics & Electromagnetics
Third Award
Objectives/Goals My project#s goal was to create a prosthetic hand that rivals mid-priced prosthetics in both price and functionality. The original objective was to embed muscle control but…
Due to daily development, actual ciphers became insecure, for instance AES-256 (Advanced Encryption Standard) which is the most used Symmetric Block cipher (version of AES that inputs a 256…
Over the course of several geologic timescales, the geochemical compositions of agglutinated foraminifera change with the addition or subtraction of various trace elements into the marsh eco…
Electronics & Electromagnetics
Objectives/Goals Our goal was to create a solution which could receive data from any brain sensing device, and use it to control external real world devices. As part of our solution, our goa…
Due to the finite supply of fossil fuels and the ecological dangers associated with their use, there has been a push in recent years to find new ways of efficiently producing energy. The dir…
Chemistry
Honorable_mention Award
Objectives/Goals My objective was to learn if a laser's path becomes changed more with the amount of sugar, and if it can be used to measure sugar content. Methods/Materials To make a glass…
This project aimed to develop and test an inexpensive and effective detector of NO2 using LEDs (Light Emitting Diodes). I hypothesized that an LED that was configured as a light sensor would…
Electronics & Electromagnetics
Objectives/Goals The objective of this project was to determine which types of electricity-generating mechanisms at which parts of the foot would generate the greatest amount of electricity.…
