Organizing science fair projects during middle school is interesting, enjoyable and captivating. At the same time, lot of hard work goes around the corner to make it a great success. Furthermore, selecting a good topic and presenting it flawlessly is a tough job. Despite all, you must be excited to give your best performance in your first year of high school. In the 9th grade, you gain experience to perform the practical works single-handedly. Your knowledge also expands and you get accurate results from the experiments you perform. Science Fair Projects for 9th Grade In the current educational system, the main branches of science, i.e. physics, chemistry and biology have been diversified into many other streams. They include environmental science, elementary physics, molecular chemistry, organic chemistry, earth science, biotechnology, biochemistry, etc. These streams are gaining equal importance as the main subjects. High school science projects are usually organized by the managing department of schools in order to give students the opportunity to exhibit their scientific skills and knowledge. Teachers also participate with students to boost up their confidence. Even students should feel free to clarify their doubts on scientific experiments to get perfect results. Experiment 1: Extraction of DNA In this experiment you will present the different stages of ripening in banana and that contains the greatest amount of extractable DNA. First collect different samples of banana. Now carry out the DNA extraction process as illustrated in the protocol provided to you. Run the electrophoresis gel for different samples. After one hour you will see the DNA bands on viewing under a U.V meter. The sample that contains the most prominent band has shown the best result. This way you can find out the best quality of extractable DNA. Experiment 2: Bacterial Growth This experiment shows the stages of bacterial growth under different conditions. First isolate the bacterial culture on a typical agar plate. Make four sets of culture plates. Provide the following conditions for growth, viz, temperature, light, water, and oxygen. There will be four controls for each set of plates. Now place the individual plates inside the incubator (temp), U.V room (light), aerated chamber (oxygen), and liquid medium (water). After 24 hours you will have to observe the growth. You can view the results clearly in a colorimeter. Experiment 3: Artificial Ripening of Fruits This experiment is regarding artificial ripening of fruits. In this article, you have to set up two experiments. One will be the control and the other will be your experimental study. Stuff both the baskets with few apples. Spray ethylene gas in one basket, while the control will be ethylene free. Leave it overnight. After 24 hours you will find that the apples sprayed with ethylene have ripened while the apples inside the control set up haven't. This shows that ethylene triggers the fruit ripening process. Some More Topics
