Project Number: 4833
Grades: 10-12   Biology
Comments:    Congratulations: you are working with very sophisticated laboratory practices. You clearly feel comfortable working with molecular biological tools and have a solid understanding for experimental control. My comments centre on improving on the clarity of your reporting. Ensure results match the stated purpose. When your project is part of a larger body of work occuring in a lab, focus on the specifics of your work. The purpose indicated that you were going to produce antibodies. Your work did not quite get that far. You did however transfer the RPA2 gene to a second plasmid for improved expression of the RPA2 protein. That is accomplishment enough. The level of explanation of the report must assume the reader may not be familiar with the intricacies of the techniques used in the project. Outline explicitly the reasons for completing the steps done and does indeed provide the foundation for further work as stated. Explain all abbreviations and cryptic designations eg. SOB/Amp and IPTG Use correct conventions. Scientific names for example are italicized and written in full upon their first occurrence. Credit the sources of illustrations borrowed such as the antibody diagram from Wikipedia. Improve clarity of expression by reducing jargon whenever possible.

Cum Honore Award -  Merit Certificate
Abstract: My project is about how much gluten is in three kinds of flour (whole wheat, all-purpose, and pastry). My hypothesis that the pastry flour is going to have the most gluten. I will figure this out by kneading all three flours with water. I will then wash it with cold water until only a stringy, sticky ball remains (that's the gluten). Last, I will measure the gluten and see which one is the most

Project Number: 4798
Grades: 7-9   Biology
Comments:The images on the Results page did not appear.   The concept is good, and observations and conclusions are clearly recorded and communicated. The project does not explain clearly the reason for the major discrepancy between the results obtained from one subject compared to the other. This is possibly a result of inconsistency in the method of cleaning the hands A greater sample size (more people tested) would reduce the chance of one error in the method affecting the results so much. The web site is easy to navigate because of the linked pages. Some small errors are present: one picture did not load; there is code visible on the last page; and a few typos were missed.
