Project Abstracts ​ KIPP Heartwood Academy Effect of Playing Video Games on Reaction Times by Aldo Carmona & Jonathan Miranda Lopez ​ Curious about how playing video games affects how our brains function, we surveyed our classmates’ video game playing habits and compared that to their reaction times. After asking classmates how much time they spend every week playing video games within the puzzle, action, and shooter categories, we measured a function of their reaction time with the “ruler test,” where a ruler is dropped through a participant’s hand and the place where the participants catch will tell how quickly participants react. Graphing hours spent playing a certain category of game with “reaction time” based on the ruler test, we saw that while playing more games overall did quicken reactions, shooter games quickened them the most. We are excited to continue exploring other effects of playing video games on cognition. Lemon Battery by Lilly Amador and Anh Ho We wanted to learn about how living things, such as produce, contained energy and how that energy could be harnessed. To discover this, we placed the electrodes of zinc and copper strips inside a lemon that acted as an electrolyte and measured the voltage it produced for varying numbers of lemons. From this, we could prove that there was a way to harvest energy from organic matter! Alka Seltzer Rockets by Halley Romero ​ In this project, we used alka seltzer and water to make rockets. We tested the effect of different amounts of both materials to see if it would make the rocket more successful or less successful. We also crushed up the tablets to see if the increased surface area would make the chemical reaction faster. We found that more water and more alka seltzer makes the rocket more explosive, especially if the tablet is crushed. ​ Morrill Middle School​ Aerodynamics Of A Car Based On Its Shape by Dhejan Sevilla ​ I wanted to learn what is the most aerodynamic car body. Aerodynamic means of or having a shape which reduces the drag from air moving past it. Air Resistance/drag means the opposing force acting on a body (such as an airplane) moving through a fluid (such as air) parallel and opposite to the direction of motion. I made a base with wheels to use for each models. I made 6 models.To t est the models, I built a ramp: I elevated one side of my ramp 12 inches off the ground while the other stays touching the ground. The data I collected was the number of seconds it took for a car to get off the ramp and their averages. I analyzed my data by finding the average of each model and comparing them to see which is the fastest car body. I concluded that the drag car model is indeed the fastest and most aerodynamic Growth Of Plants Under Different Colored Lights by V arun Madhan ​ Germination is the process by which an organism grows from a seed or similar structure. I first opened the brick soil and put water on it and it turned to soil. After that I planted the plants. Then I set up the lights of green, blue, yellow, and normal. Then I took data for a lot of weeks but the plants dried out a lot so we only got data for three weeks then I made visual graphs to represent the data. Based on my data, the plant under the yellow light grew the best. Organic: The Best Option or Just a Scam? by Diya Arunkumar ​ The label “organic” is an extremely widespread notion, making it a multi-billion dollar industry. I wanted to test organic and non-organic produce from the local stores Target, Walmart, Costco, Sprouts, and Farmer’s Market for acidity levels, harmful growth inhibitors (chemicals) such as Budnip, nitrates, etc. I hypothesized that I would find that the organic produce bought from the Farmer’s Market would be the best in terms of human consumption. I concluded Costco’s organic produce is the healthiest out of all of the groups that I tested, which does not support by hypothesis. ​ Project Report can be found here . River Glen Middle School​ Sideways Plants vs. Right Side Up Plants by Francisco Martín, Jorge Guhe In this project, we want to see how growing a plant sideways affect its growth. We want to test sideways plants because of our limited land resource which is becoming scarce, so instead of growing plants on the ground upwards, we can consider growing plants on the walls or in a space with an angle. In our research project, we planted six types of plants – spinach, radish, basil, blue lake bean, forget-me-not flower, alysuum flower. We grow these plants both upright and sideways indoors. After four weeks, we found that for five of the plants, sideway plants grow slower than upright plants, sideway plants also have a lower survival rate. However, for forget-me-not flower, it grows better sideways than upright. Our conclusion is, in general, plants do not grow well sideways, but some plant may grow better sideways. Hence when selecting plants to grow on a wall, we need to be careful of the type of plants to use. Water On Water by Ava Alexander, Ashukem Taku ​ Salt water’s density is determined by salinity and temperature. In this project we want to study the effect of water salinity and temperature on water circulation among water of different densities, which simulates thermohaline circulation of sea water. During our experiments, we colored saltwater of different density with food coloring. Red bottle has one salt density, blue bottle has a different salt density. Then we flipped one bottle on top of another bottle and watched how saltwater mix. We found that saltwater of different density mix initially, then float on each other. The larger difference of the density, the longer it takes to reach equilibrium. The experiments demonstrate how Thermohaline Circulation works. That is, if higher density saltwater is on top, then it will sink down. If lower density saltwater is on top, then it will not sink down or it will take very long to sink down. pH Levels in the Ocean by Shayla Cibrian, Marbella Lopez We did this project because we are really fascinated about the beaches that we usually go to and were curious about its pH levels. We collected water from Santa Cruz, Panther beach, and Half Moon bay, and tested their pH levels. We found that Santa Cruz Beach had the highest pH level, and Half Moon Bay was the most acidic. The Prism Project by Benjamin Lee A prism is a glass or other transparent object in prism form, especially one that is triangular with refracting surfaces that separates white light into the full spectrum of color. In this experiment I recorded data points about different colors of light and the angles of three different types of prisms. I shone a red, white, and UV flashlight on to three different sized prisms (small, medium, and large). Based on the evidence, white light shown normally on a prism shows the full spectrum and any other wavelength of light does not show the full spectrum. Ace Esperanza Middle School Energy Drink by Miguel Angel Guzman Flores, Garrett Cisneros Energy drinks provide short-term performance boosts to athletes. In this experiment, we compared the energy content of various energy drinks such as Gatorade, Monster, and instant coffee, and we designed our own new energy drink for athletes. This new drink is comprised of a specific ratio of three different compounds that are safe to the human body: citrulline, ashwagandha, and caffeine. Using a bomb calorimeter, we found that our new solution has an energy content that is nearly twice that of the other marketed drinks. My Robot by Christal Camacho Infante I am very interested in space exploration because it has become an increasingly important field in the world of science. So in this project, I sought to engineer a space rover that can drive in all directions and pick up and carry blocks. This rover can also be controlled remotely from a tablet. Rockets by Alehandro Soledad Rodriguez Tavares, Joshua Tavares In this project, we combined baking soda and vinegar to create rockets. We tested the distance the rocket flew while containing various amounts of both compounds and found that the more vinegar and baking soda the further the rocket flew. However, when keeping the amount of vinegar constant, the distance of the rocket did not continue increasing and instead remained the same after too much baking soda was added.

KIPP Heritage Academy September 2019 - May 2020 Opportunity X Representatives: Rashi Ranjan and Anika Bhatia Sponsoring Teacher: Ms. Simran Sabharwal ​ We are so excited to start a new school program at KIPP Heritage Academy, held afterschool on Mondays! ​ September 7, 2019: KIPP 101 ​ Rashi and Vedha went to KIPP Heritage's "KIPP 101" event, talking to students and parents about the program and planting the seeds of STEM at KIPP! We had the opportunity to talk to many prospective students and gauge their interest in the program. Our first meeting will be on Monday, October 7th! ​ October 7, 2019: Welcome to Opportunity X! We had an introductory meeting at KIPP Heritage with fifteen students! We started by introducing the scientific process and talking about problems that affect our favorite animals in groups. Talking about human activity and its effect on the environment also had the students thinking about projects and topics we may be interested in investigating further. October 21, 2019: Strawberry DNA Extraction For our second meeting, we performed strawberry DNA extraction! The students were excited to learn about the different types of variables. To perform the extraction, we developed our own extraction liquid using household ingredients, like detergent (lyses, or bursts the cell so the DNA can be taken from where it's safely guarded inside the cell) and salt (helps clump the different DNA strands together). Everyone was excited when we added the alcohol, which caused the DNA to precipitate out of the liquid to where it was visible under the microscope.​ Mashing strawberries to break them down as much as possible Adding salt and alcohol to lyse (break open) cells Extracting the DNA that has floated to the top October 28, 2019: Effects of Radiation The power outage gave us a unique topic to talk about—how do the devices we rely on every day affect us? We learned about the effects of radiation today and its real-life applications. Using an EM meter, we measured the radiation emitted by a phone when it's stationary, when a text is sent, and when a text is received. Everyone was surprised when the meter abruptly moved. It also encouraged the students to practice protecting ourselves from radiation by not sleeping with our phones next to our heads or making sure to use the lead vest when getting an X-ray. We also tested three different materials (cardboard, plastic, and foil) to determine if any of them can block radiation. November 4, 2019: Making Ice Cream The students were super excited to make their own ice cream from scratch! By learning about salt's effect on ice's melting point, we were able to make ice cream with a firm consistency. We also learned about how the amount of salt was an independent variable that affected the temperature (and therefore, consistency) of the ice cream. After shaking for a while and getting our ice cream in cups to eat, the students heard about participating in Opportunity X Science Fair and Synopsys Science Fair. We'll be brainstorming ideas next week! First, we mixed milk, vanilla, sugar, food coloring, and our desired toppings in a bag. After putting that small bag in a larger bag with ice and salt, we shook the bag as much as we could, waiting for the ice cream to become firm. We removed the ice cream from the bag, added chocolate chips, and were excited to eat it! While eating the ice cream, we talked about participating in science fairs and the types of projects that we can conduct at these fairs. November 18, 2019: Brainstorming Projects Today we began brainstorming science projects! A lot of our students demonstrated interest in participating in Synopsys Science Fair, and we're all super excited for the Opportunity X Science Fair, too. We thought of ideas based on the problems we face every day, like having a heavy backpack. Over the Thanksgiving break, we're going to think about our project ideas and refine them to begin conducting them. December 2, 2019: Invisible Ink At today's meeting, we learned about four different ways to make invisible ink. These included chemical reactions, like the oxidation of lemon juice and the combination of grape juice and baking soda. Through this lesson, many of the students were inspired to think about what else could be substituted, which introduced the concept of acidity. We spoke about the pH scale, and some students are excited to use this concept in their own science fair project. December 9, 2019: Lava Lamps For the last meeting of the semester, we decided to make lava lamps using materials everyone has at home: baking soda (Alka-Seltzer tablets), oil, food coloring, and water. The students enjoyed seeing the effects of the chemical reaction and relating the buildup of the carbon dioxide bubbles to opening a soda can. We learned about polarity and density. Everyone enjoyed it so much that they took home some Alka-Seltzer to show their siblings and parents—because the chemical reaction can be carried out again and again! Lastly, we did a mini-experiment with Skittles to explore diffusion, which showed the students what the Skittles' coating is made of: food coloring and sugar. We also used this as an opportunity to make some cool designs. Everyone's excited to start off next semester with project brainstorming. February 24, 2020: Welcome Back! For our first meeting of the new semester, we welcomed a new group of students along with two students from the previous semester. To make it easier to understand how to conduct a science fair project in preparation for the Opportunity X Science Fair, we are doing a long-term science project as a club. Our project focuses on the effect of different colors of light on plant growth, and we'll keep the plants out in the KIPP garden. We designed the experiment, coming up with a hypothesis, how we would define and measure "growth," and determining its real-life applications. We also narrowed down what kind of projects we're interested in and split into teams. March 3, 2020: Developing a Question Today, we were able to collect our first set of data on our long-term experiment involving the effect of different colors of light on plant growth. In just one week, our plants have grown (an average) an inch. The plant receiving "yellow light" grew the most. We are continuing to develop our hypothesis and do research on the topic! In addition, we got into our science fair groups and did research to develop either our testable question or engineering design. We have a mix of projects, including behavioral sciences, biology, and engineering. In the coming weeks, we'll be starting to conduct our projects after finalizing our procedures.

Opportunity X annual science fair held virtually, middle schoolers present research projects May 29, 2021 by Arely Sun, Sabrina Zhu ​ Students of Opportunity X , a nonprofit organization that teaches about science research to various middle schools in California and around the world, congregated on Zoom for the program's annual science fair on May 29. The program’s online format this year allowed it to expand internationally and gave participants a chance to meet students from different school branches. ​ Opportunity X offered two research options during the school year: science research, where students worked with high school volunteers to conduct a project, and the science exploration challenge, which prompted participants to study and present about past research on specific topics. All students recorded a short video to display their work, and industry professionals judged the projects based on creativity, presentation and scientific thought. Additionally, each student had the opportunity to give a live speech to an audience of judges during the fair. Winning students received monetary gifts. ​ Along with live presentations, the fair included speaker events and interactive activities. Volunteers invited Howard Isaacson from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Kepler Space Mission and the California Planet Search, Dr. Dong Chen who leads the Machine Learning Kit team at Google and Dr. Matthew Porteus , the Sutardja Chuk Professor of Definitive and Curative Medicine at Stanford. The speakers gave twenty minute talks and answered questions, and participants could decide whose session to attend. ​ “The speaker I went to, he talked about genes and sickle cell disease, and that was really cool,” April Mestas, an eighth grader from Ave Crux program at Saint Francis High School in Mountain View who participated in the Science Exploration Challenge, said. ​ Volunteers also organized science experiments, which could be easily completed with household items, as an interactive learning experience. Opportunity X co-president Alice Feng (11) sought to make the online event more engaging through these activities. ​ “It's easier when everyone's in the same physical environment to keep their attention, but when it's virtual, we have to get a little more creative,” Alice said. “Through science experiments, the students were able to have some fun doing hands-on activities, and organizing those events was kind of a challenge by itself. We had to look for projects that didn't require too many materials so that the students could find everything at home.” ​ Ayush Rao (8) participated in the Opportunity X program at his school Hercules Middle School in Hercules and presented his project “What’s the most effective barrel length for a spring powered nerf blaster?” He also attended the interactive activity sessions during the fair. ​ “I tried the experiments like water bending and making a rubber band guitar, and I really enjoyed those. They were a lot of fun,” Ayush said. ​ Opportunity X held its first science fair in 2019 in order to give students a chance to share the work they had done over the year. The organization has since grown, with over 100 participants attending this year’s online event. ​ Opportunity X was co-founded in 2016 with a mission to provide research supplies to underrepresented groups. High school volunteers visit local schools and libraries to hold lessons for middle schoolers. The organization now has over 80 volunteers at 18 schools across California, Texas and Florida. At the weekly classes, teachers prepare basic experiments and scientific lessons. In the spring, the volunteers mentor students as they complete their research projects. ​ “We hope that, through [the science fair, students] can come in contact with a lot of peers who are as passionate about STEM as they are. It's also a great opportunity for them to share all of the hard work that they've put into their research projects this year,” Alice said. “I'm very inspired and motivated by all of the volunteers that I have the incredible opportunity to work with. For the students, I've seen a lot of growth in them, which inspires me and makes me feel that what we're doing at Opportunity X is worth it.”

KIPP Heartwood Middle School September 2018 - May 2019 In our second year at KIPP Heartwood Academy in East San Jose, we are continuing to lead weekly after school enrichment s every Tuesday where we build upon students' scientific curiosity and perform scientific experiments. Under our guidance, our ten students are asking questions, developing them, and conducting their own research projects. Last year, one of our students, Nathaniel Johnson, participated in Synospys science fair. This year, under co-founder Adishree's and KIPP alumni Nathan's guidance, 7 students plan on participation in the fair. ​ ​ DAY 1: September 4, 2018 Adishree and Nathan introduced our program and some basic science principles. We did the fear of watching experiment where, for example, Person A stands behind Person B, and Person B has to determine based on intuition if Person A was watching them. It ended up being super organic because Adishree and Nathan weren't expecting it to be a psychology thing. However, that’s what it ended up being—a guessing game on what the person behind was thinking. The kids did recognize this though and were able to analyze it organically. We reflected on what better experimentation procedures could be used on this same question. DAY 2: September 11, 2018 We taught the impact & prevalence of STEM in our lives and went over the variables in experiments – independent variables, dependent variables, controls, and constants. We did the strawberry DNA extraction experiment where we crushed the strawberries then poured in alcohol and pulled out the white fibery DNA. The kids weren’t as interested just based on the description, but as we started to work through the experiment, they were really excited and loved it. DAY 3: September 18, 2018 We planted seeds in different liquids (water, sugar water, salt water, coffee, and tea) to see how different liquids affect plant growth. We had lots of fun mixing the liquids to dissolve the sugar/salt, and many of our kids were surprised to learn that water does not necessarily need to be hot to dissolve things.

DAY 4: September 26, 2018 Our kids got in pairs and built structures out of pasta and marshmallows. We showed them some basic principles first (like the power of triangles in strengthening a structure). At the start, the kids were a little lost, but they soon found their way. Some kids had a really strong intuition for this, and some followed the guiding principles we talked about really closely. We had one group build a structure that could hold 9 markers which was really awesome. DAY 4: September 26, 2018 Our kids got in pairs and built structures out of pasta and marshmallows.

It was so awesome to see the enthusiasm and interest in the actually pretty surprising results.

For the Science experiments, please prepare the following materials ahead of time to fully enjoy the five experiments. Rubber Band Guitar: rubber bands (preferably of varying widths) an empty container (a cup, a small bowl, etc.) small towel or cloth (which can fit in the container tape (optional) Water-Bending: dry plastic comb / plastic balloon faucet Soap Powered Boat: Cup Two paper clips Water Piece of paper towel One Q-tip Liquid soap Refraction Glass of water Pen Paper/ paper napkin Plastic Milk Prepared hot milk Styrofoam® or other heat-resistant cup White or distilled vinegar Paper towels Spoon Optional: food coloring, glitter, or markers

School Programs 1000+ research workshops 27 school programs 16 state branches Conducting science research can change students, as they gain important problem-solving skills and appreciation for the knowledge they learn in the classroom. At Opportunity X, we believe that all students should have access to the resources and materials necessary to complete their own research projects, regardless of their socioeconomic background. ​ To promote interest for science, we partner with local middle schools that have a high percentage of socioeconomically challenged students. We organize and lead weekly research programs at these schools, guiding a group of 15-30 students through the science research process. Our ultimate goal is to be able to help students participate in the annual Opportunity X STEM Research Symposium. Our pilot program successfully ran at KIPP Heartwood Middle School in the 2017-2018 school year. We mentored several students through the scientific research process, and we had great results. In the 2018-2019 school year, we expanded our programs to 6 schools across states. Since then our program has been expanding to more schools and states. ​ During the COVID-19 pandemic, we made extra efforts to convert our lab-based school program to online format and we have started seven new school programs and expand our organization to several new states. ​ We are currently running 27 school programs in 16 state branches. ​ Are you a student/staff who is interested in having us run a program at your school?
