• 89. EFFECTS OF READING AND WORKING ON THE COMPUTER ON VISION

  » Abstract The objective: The objective is to determine if a person blinks less, and therefore vision worsens after reading and working on the computer. Methods/Materials Informed consent was obtained from 15 subjects, men and women ranging in age from 10 to 103. Baseline data was obtained which included average number of times each subject blinked and their baseline near vision. A control test was ...Continue Reading »

• 90. DO RATS LEARN FASTER WITH PEER PRESSURE

  » Abstract The objective: The question asked was will a rat trained in a dual chamber skinner box learn faster if it is next to a rat that has already been trained? My hypothesis was that a rat trained with a demonstrator rat will learn to press the lever faster than if it learned alone. Methods/Materials To test this hypothesis a dual chamber Skinner box was built providing identical chambers to tw...Continue Reading »

• 91. ULTRAVIOLET RADIATION

  » Abstract The objective: The objective to this project is to find whether or not an ultra violet light will effect the strength of hair strands. Methods/Materials The materials required for this expiriment are: 1 black light, 10 strands of hair (to be used as control), 10 strands of hair (to be ised for exposure), 1 spring scale, 1 box wrapped in tin foil. Place the black light in the box wrapped i...Continue Reading »

• 92. WHAT ANGLE OF IMPACT HAS THE MOST EFFECT ON MAKING A BRUISE

  » Abstract The objective: this project was to determine what angle of impact has the most effect on making a bruise. I believe a direct hit has the greatest impact to the skin test models. Methods/Materials I made three skin test samples that are identical in size and shape. The material use to make and construct the skin test sample describes the function of the anatomy of the skin. I created an ap...Continue Reading »

• 93. THE SPEED OF SPROUTING SEEDS

  » Abstract The objective: The objective of my project was to determine which soaking solution would germinate bean seeds most effectively. As a higher percentage of seeds successfully germinate, crop yields will increase. More efficient farming will lead to conservation of resources, including water, energy, fertilizers, and labor. After researching different seed soaking methods, I hypothesized tha...Continue Reading »

To create different light strengths, shade cloths that block out in 50%, 75%, or 90% of the sunlight were used. To get direct sunlight (100%), no shade cloth was also used Results Fourteen seeds germinated in...Continue Reading »
