ST. MARY'S COUNTY SCIENCE AND ENGINEERING FAIR

2016 WELCOME AND GUIDE

We welcome you to the 2016 St. Mary's County Science and Engineering Fair, our 56th annual fair. Students in public, nonpublic, and home schools in St. Mary's County have submitted the science exhibits displayed here.

The exhibits are the result of projects generated by the students' interest in science and engineering. These students have taken on the role of scientists through their research. The core of science is inquiry, research, and discovery. Engineering applies science concepts through engineering design and testing. The students are offered a venue at the Science and Engineering Fair through which they may present their findings to their fellow students and to the public. The Science and Engineering Fair Board hopes that this experience is a stepping stone to even greater scientific endeavors.

Exhibits are entered in two divisions: Junior (grades 6 through 8) and Senior (grades 9 through 12). In each division, exhibits are placed in one of 21 categories as listed in this program. Each exhibit is assigned a project number, which is listed in this program. Corresponding numbers are placed on the exhibits. All exhibits must adhere to the size and safety regulations specified by the Prince George's Science Fair Association and endorsed by the St. Mary's County Science and Engineering Fair Board.

Selected exhibits from the St. Mary's County Science and Engineering Fair will be chosen to be entered in the Prince George's Area Science Fair which will be held March 18 - 19, 2016, at Dr. Charles H. Flowers High School. Senior Division Grand Prize winners at the Prince George's Area Science Fair may have the opportunity to attend the 2016 Intel International Science and Engineering Fair in Phoenix, Arizona on May 8 - May 13, 2016.

The St. Mary's County Science and Engineering Fair Board would like to thank Mr. Jake Heibel, Principal of Great Mills High School, for making the school facilities available for the 2016 St. Mary's County Science and Engineering Fair. Thank you to the parents, teachers, mentors, and others who have made the process of discovery real to these students.

The Intel ISEF is the premiere science competition in the world exclusively for students in grades 9 - 12.

Each year, millions of students worldwide compete in local and school-sponsored science fairs; the winners of these events go on to participate in Intel ISEF - affiliated regional and state fairs from which the best win the opportunity to attend the Intel ISEF. The Intel ISEF unites these top young scientific minds, showcasing their talent on an international stage,

enabling them to submit their work to judging by doctoral level scientists - and providing the opportunity to compete for nearly $4 million in prizes and scholarships.

Society for Science & the Public partners with Intel - along with dozens of other corporate, academic, government and science-focused sponsors - who provide support and awards for the Intel ISEF each year.
