York County Science and Engineering Fair, March 5, 2001

Senior Division
Winner: "Power Shortage - The Effects of Corrosion on Resistance of Metals."  (Use of  Std.dev and CIs to assess within-group variability, and also used regression over a time variable to visually compare reaction rates among different metals.)

Honorable Mention: "The Right Stuff: What Makes Success" (use of basic distributional stats and boxplots to compare scaled survey results of student lifestyle
activities vs. GPA.)

Honorable Mention: "Can Beano Keep You Quiet?" (use of regression analysis of observed chemical levels over time, for a visual comparison among trials.)

Honorable Mention: "The Antibacterial Properties of Honey" (for recognizing that the confidence intervals for the various group means did not overlap.)

Honorable Mention: "Speed of Sound in Different Solids" (use of regression analysis to calculate speed as a slope of measured distance vs. time.)
