The Ohio Academy of Science 1 WHAT IS STATE SCIENCE DAY? For more than 60 years — and now with more than 60,000 alumni — State Science Day is the pinnacle of student originated, inquiry-based science education for Ohio’s students. The academic equivalent of a state athletic championship, this year’s event is one of the largest of its kind in the nation. Drawing upon a base of over 35,000 students at more than 1,000 local school science fairs, more than 1,000 students in grades 5–12 from nearly 300 schools will be evaluated this year on their scientific research and communication skills. They will compete for nearly 100 different scholarships and awards valued at close to 1 million dollars. Individuals will be recognized and several sponsors will also make awards to members of team research projects. First held in 1949, the 67th Annual State Science Day is sponsored by: The Ohio Academy of Science, American Electric Power, The Ohio Environmental Education Fund, Boehringer Ingelheim Roxane, Inc., Battelle, Ethicon, and. www.ohiosci.org/ssd-2015 CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL EXHIBITORS Sometimes in the excitement of the sponsored awards and ratings we lose track of the fact that everyone at State Science Day is an achiever. Exhibitors were chosen first by their schools and then by their Jr. Academy Council districts as having superior projects in their respective geographic areas. The investment of time in pursuing an independent research project in science pays generous returns to each student. By honoring hundreds of projects with close to 1 million dollars in sponsored awards and scholarships, we seek to honor all exhibitors for their hard work. Please accept our sincere congratulations for your superior work and our encouragement to continue your interest in scientific research. Thank you for participating in this year’s State Science Day. If you are a senior, we extend to you our best wishes in your future endeavors and hope to have the opportunity to welcome you to Ohio State next year. For those of you who are not seniors, we hope you will be coming back to State Science Day next year. DR. ANDREW HECKLER, Chair, State Science Day Steering Committee ANGELA DAVIS, Coordinator, State Science Day 2 State Science Day - May 16, 2015 ABOUT THE SPONSORS AEP Ohio AEP Ohio is part of American Electric Power (AEP), based in Columbus, Ohio, and serves nearly 1.5 million customers in Ohio. AEP is one of the largest electric utilities in the United States, delivering electricity to more than 5.3 million customers in 11 states.

AEP also owns the nation’s largest electricity transmission system, a more than 40,000mile network that includes more 765 kilovolt extra-high voltage transmission lines than all other U.S. transmission systems combined. aep.com Battelle More than 80 years ago, the first group of Ethicon scientists and researchers started to think about healing in a new way. Their questions led to pioneering sutures that advanced surgeons’ work and discoveries that enhanced patients’ lives Today, we produce much more than sutures. Working with our customers and partners, we bring meaningful solutions to every area we touch. To wound closure and general surgery. To women’s health and aesthetic medicine. To minimally invasive procedures and metabolic science. While our world and the field of healthcare have changed, our passion to make a difference for patients remains. As we reach toward every corner of the globe, we remain committed to advancing surgical care and extending patients’ access to health care across the globe. Every day, the people of Battelle apply science and technology to solving what matters most. At major technology centers and national laboratories around the world, Battelle conducts research and development, designs and manufactures products, and delivers critical services for government and commercial customers. Headquartered in Columbus, Ohio, Battelle serves customers in the national security, health and life sciences, and energy and environmental industries. At Ethicon, we continue to take pride in our heritage. We were founded on innovation and will continue exploring ways to improve surgical outcomes. Improving patient care continues to inspire us to work smarter, partner in more meaningful ways, and never be afraid to imagine a better world by asking the one simple question that started it all. What if...? www.ethicon.com Battelle also is one of the nation’s leading charitable trusts focusing on societal and economic impact, vigorously supporting and promoting science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) education. Battelle believes STEM education is an urgent national priority that requires bold goals, higher standards and greater accountability in our educational system to better prepare our nation’s K-12 students for careers in science and technology that ultimately enhance the U.S. innovation enterprise. www.battelle.org.
