Greenfield, Teresa Arambula

Journal of Research in Science Teaching, v32 n7 p735-48 Sep 1995

Investigated gender patterns with respect to entry rate, project topic, and project type in a state-level science competition. Reports that for the past 20 years the participation rate has been greater for girls than for boys. Boys are more likely than girls to prepare physical, earth, math/computer, and experimental research-based projects. (45 references) (Author/JRH)
