Eligibility: This competition is open to all students in grades
9-12 during the academic year 2007-2008 from local high schools in the New York, New
Jersey, and Connecticut areas. Each student or team (limited to two members) must submit
an accurate project proposal under one principal student investigator. Each project must
be supervised by a contact teacher at the high school but all work must be done by the
students themselves within the 2007-08 academic year. The students’ work should be
presented as a Freestanding poster presentation which may include a table display. Each
project should be entered under one of the three categories listed below.
Entry categories: The entry categories are broadly described to
include research in the biological, chemical, and physical sciences. The following
descriptions represent only some of the many areas which may be included under each
category.
A. Environment/Nature |
Ecology, zoology, botany, pollution, earth science, space
science, radiation physics, nuclear physics, planetary sciences,
bioremediation, etc. |

If a student would like to submit a project in biology,
chemistry, physics, or psychology that is without apparent application in one of the three
areas listed above, please indicate "other" on the proposal form and an
appropriate category will be selected for the project.
Every effort is made to accommodate the selected
category, but selection may be subject to change. |
