Life Science projects include botany and zoology, as well as psychology and kinesiology.

Examining plant growth, animal behaviour, human perception or the mechanics of human movement are examples of Life Science.  Some phenomenon, such as digestion, are both Life Science and Physical Science.  To determine the best placement, consider whether the exhibitor's intent was to study the chemistry of the process, or the role of the process in the life of the animal (eating, production of enzymes, handling of waste, etc.)  Does the exhibitor's view of the problem extend to include the organism?
