A
Life Science
project examines some aspect of the life or lifestyle of an organism.
A
Biotechnology
project is the application of knowledge of biological systems to solve
a problem, create a product or provide a service. Biotechnology
projects will fall into one of three subject fields: crop development,
animal science, and microbials.
A
Physical
Science project studies an abiotic phenomenon in order to
understand the relation of identified factors, perhaps including a cause
and effect relationship.
An
Engineering
project applies physical science knowledge to solve a problem or achieve
a purpose.
A
Computer
Technology project is an engineering-type project focussed
on hardware or software development.
An
Earth
and Environmental Science project involves the application
of any of various sciences, as geography, geology, or meteorology, that
deal with the earth, its composition, or any of its changing aspects,
or which deals with the physical, chemical, and biological conditions
of the environment and their effect on organisms.
The Chief
Judge may recommend a change of division to allow for the fairest adjudication
of the students' work but the final decision regarding the division
placement rests with the student exhibitor and their regional delegate.
