Huntin Fool's trip!

[Trent Buxton]

Hunting fool glad to here that your family interested in the Science fair. I myself won the ISEF overall award when I was in highschool. 1991 in Orlando Florida and Second place overall 1992 in San Juan Puerto Rico (lost to a guy who developed SPF sunscreen to put into outdoor paint to make it last longer). Ole Hackberry Hustler can confirm that for ya if you dont believe me. I developed various ground covers to grow commerical crops through. Mainly tomatos was the concentration of my research. Its most common around sw louisiana when watermelon planting. But in Florida and California they plant commerical grade tomatos on various ground covers that I developed and tested for overall yield in various weather conditions and overall climates. And your right it easily pays for college as well as puts a little cash in the pocket when you develop a marketable product. If you need any help with project development Id be glad to help both my parents where high school and college Science teachers in Biology, Chemistry, physics, you name it. Just drop me a line Id be more than glad to help you develop your idea.

Unlike my self you have a very good shot at achieving the goals you posted earlier in the thread...set your mind to it and it will happen. Best of luck....

WOW! this year my project was basically to determine the wood perfrence of reticuletermes flavips (fyi- termites) thru a series of choice and no choice testing.. testing like 7 different woods..

That sounds awesome could really put some insight into what we need to build our homes out of here in Louisiana if your tests show a significant difference across the board....heres a hint for you expand your project to 14 wood species....same 7 your already doing but in the other same 7 wood species add a humdity factor such as enclose them in a place with a humidifier and watch what happens....record those humidites in your 7 with no humidity versus those with humidifier. Your gonna see a big difference in how fast they deteriorate the wood with more humid climate versus everyday humdity...The reason for doing this is that under ground and under homes where the naturally live is usually very moist damp "HUMID" spaces that allows there colonies to really flurish. It could be a second part of your project for maybe next year with same research to show that the less humid you can make your dwelling the less apt you are to have a infestation that is uncontrollable. Just a thought....run with it if you feel like...I can do this all day.

Trent, maybe you should try that project. Cause you sure ain't working this week and spending way too much time on the 'puter.

well i had them inclosed running 2 different types of test, one being a "no choice" and the other being a choice

for the no choice i had 2 petri dishes one being filled with sand and other being filled with 1 of the woods, they were connected with tubing so the termites could go to the wood.

the choice was a large petri dish and had 7 tubes running off of it to 7 different woods (in small petri dishes).

since termites like humidity i sprayed down all the wood consequetively.

my hypothesis was that termites would prefer softwoods over hardwoods but would eat on any food source availble

LSUH2Ofowler....you right...im wasting the day away a little bit...its been raining here since before daylight....I AINT GETTIN WET if I can help it. LOL

FOOL sounds like a good start. hope it all goes well for you DID you try cedar or cypress by chance...they are both considered SOFT woods yet termites will not touch them...might be worth looking into

Congrats on all your achievements, keep up the good work and you can be whatever you want to be in life. IMO Marine Biologist would be an awesome field for you to be in .
