  3. The Gold Packet

  4. Science Fair Categories HISEF and AZSEF Science Fair Categories •Behavioral & Social Sciences •Computer Science •Earth & Space Science (Geology and Astronomy) •Engineering/Inventions •Environmental Sciences •Life Science (Animal Sciences, Plant Sciences, Cellular & Molecular Biology) •Mathematical Sciences •Medicine & Health Sciences •Physical Science (Chemistry, Physics) The largest categories last year were in physics, plant science and environmental science. The smallest categories last year were in behavioral science, computer science, engineering, cellular & molecular biology, mathematical science, and medicine and health.

  5. IRB Projects with the following elements must have prior approval through our district’s IRB before beginning investigations. The IRB is a committee of high school science teachers, district science coordinators, and lawyers. Their job is to make sure that their liability is kept to a minimum. These project types require approval: 1. Chemicals (must account for precautions, storage, disposal of chemicals) 2. People (easiest to get approval for, food allergies must be taken into consideration) 3. Animals (must be purchased from ASU Research Park, your own animal cannot be used) **The following projects are never approved: mold, fire, projectiles Paperwork for these projects need to be filled out with Mrs. Morrison and signed by a parent.

  6. Materials Materials Required: •large size science fair board (small ones are not accepted this year) •paper, letters, pictures that will be used on the display •thumb drive •glue sticks or double sided tape •logbook (can be a folder or small notebook) •any items needed for experimenting not found in the classroom Optional: •rubber cement •paper cutter

  7. Behavioral & Social Sciences Cognitive, Brain and Cognition, Neuro-psychology - The study of cognition, the mental processes that underlie behavior, including thinking, deciding, reasoning, and to some extent motivation and emotion. Neuro-psychology studies the relationship between the nervous system, especially the brain, and cerebral or mental functions such as language, memory, and perception. Sociology and Social Psychology; Industrial/Organizational Psychology - The study of human social behavior, especially the study of the origins, organization, institutions, and development of human society. Sociology is concerned with all group activities-economic, social, political, and religious.

  8. Computer Science  Networking and Communications - The study of systems that transmits any combination of voice, video, and/or data among users. Computer System, Operating System - The study of system software responsible for the direct control and management of hardware and basic system operations of a computer. Artificial Intelligence - The study of the ability of a computer or other machine to perform those activities that are normally thought to require intelligence, such as solving problems, discriminating among objects, and/or responding to voice commands. This also includes speech analysis and synthesis.

  9. Earth & Space Science (Geology and Astronomy) Planetary Science - The study of planets or planetary systems and the solar system. Climatology, Meteorology, Weather - the scientific study of the atmosphere that focuses on weather processes and forecasting. Geophysics - Branch of geology in which the principles and practices of physics are used to study the earth and its environment.

  10. •Engineering/Inventions Robotics - The science or study of the technology associated with the design, fabrication, theory, and application of robots and of general purpose, programmable machine systems. Invention: A product that would be used for the ease of use or to help in a job.

  11. Environmental Sciences • Air Pollution and Air Quality - The study of contamination of the air by such things as noxious gases, elements, minerals, chemicals, solid and liquid matter (particulates), etc. Air pollution is the study of such contaminates in concentrations that endanger the health of humans, plants, and/or animals. • Soil Contamination and Soil Quality - The study of contamination of the soil by such things as noxious elements, minerals, chemicals, solids, liquids, etc. Soil contamination is the study of such contaminates in concentrations that endanger the health of humans, plants, and/or animals. •  Water Pollution and Water Quality - The study of contamination of the water by such things as noxious elements, minerals, chemicals, solids, etc. Water pollution is the study of such contaminates in concentrations that endanger the health of humans, plants, and/or animals.

  12. Life Science (Animal Sciences, Plant Sciences, Cellular & Molecular Biology) Animal Behavior - The study of animal activities, on the level of the intact organism or its neurological components. This includes rhythmic functions, learning, and intelligence, sensory preferences, and environmental effects on behaviors.  Ecology - The science of the interactions and relationships among animals and animals and plants with their environment. Genetics - The study of organismic and population genetics. Nutrition and Growth - The study of natural and artificial nutrients on animal growth and reproduction. This also includes the effects of biological and chemical control agents on reproduction and populations. Cellular Biology - The study of the organization and functioning of the individual cell.

  13. Mathematical Sciences • The study of the measurement, properties, and relationships of quantities and sets, using numbers and symbols. The deductive study of numbers, geometry, and various abstract constructs, or structures.  • OB Probability and Statistics - Mathematical study of random phenomena and the study of statistical tools used to analyze and interpret data. • ALG Algebra - The study of algebraic operations and/or relations and the structures which arise from them. An example is given by (systems of) equations which involve polynomial functions of one or more variables. 

  14. Medicine & Health Sciences • GENE Genetics - The study of heredity, especially the mechanisms of hereditary transmission and the variation of inherited traits among similar or related organisms. • EPID Epidemiology - The study of the causes, distribution, and control of disease in populations. Epidemiologists, using sophisticated statistical analyses, field investigations, and complex laboratory techniques, investigate the cause of a disease, its distribution (geographic, ecological, and ethnic), method of spread, and measures for control and prevention.

  15. •Physical Science (Chemistry, Physics) • ENV Environmental Chemistry - The study of chemical species in the natural environment, including the effects of human activities, such as the design of products and processes that reduce or eliminate the use or generation of hazardous substances. • BIO Biological Physics - The study of the physics of biological processes. • MAG Magnetics, Electromagnetics and Plasmas - The study of electrical and magnetic fields and of matter in the plasma phase and their effects on materials in the solid, liquid or gaseous states.
