Four Science Research Competitions for High Schoolers
Participating in a science research competition as a high schooler can allow you to explore one of your
passions, making you a more competitive candidate during the college admissions process. Here are four science
research competitions designed for high schoolers.
Breakthrough Junior Challenge
The Breakthrough Junior Challenge tasks students with creating a short two-minute video in which they
explain a complex scientific concept and demonstrate how it works in practice.
Awards include a $250, 000 college scholarship, and a $50, 000 award to a teacher of the winner's choosing.
Eye on the Future Teen Video Contest
Participants are tasked with creating a video between 30 seconds and three minutes long, either on their own
or in teams of up to three members.
Winners receive a paid trip to the National Institute of Health in Bethesda, Maryland.
Regeneron International Science and Engineering Fair
This competition is the world's largest international pre-college STEM competition. Students showcase
independent research and compete across 22 categories for awards ranging from $500 to $75, 000.
This is not a group-based competition—individual students sigh up for local school science fairs before
advancing to upper-level competitions.
American Academy of Neurology Neuroscience Research Prize
This competition challenges students to investigate problems regarding the brain or nervous system. It is only
open to individual students—group projects are excluded.
Winners receive a monetary prize and the chance to present their projects at the AAN Annual Meeting.

Heman Bekele has been named TIME's Kid of the Year for 2024. The 15-year-old has come up with an idea
for a soap that could help treat skin cancer, and he is already working with scientists to test his idea.
Heman's family came to the US from Ethiopia when he was four. Heman remembers seeing people there
working outside in the sun without protecting their skin. From his parents, he learned about the dangers of cancer,
and how important it is for people to protect their skin from the sun. Skin cancer can often be cured, but the
treatment is extremely expensive.
Heman was always curious, and experimented as a youngster by mixing different liquids together. When he
was more than 7 years old, he read about a medicine called “imiquimod” that can help fight skin cancer. Heman
thought that a good way to deliver the medicine might be through a simple bar of soap. Then he thought about
creating a soap that contained the medicine inside super tiny “nanoparticles”. These could stick to the skin and
deliver the imiquimod after the soap had washed off.
Last year, when he was 14, Heman created a video explaining his idea, and used it to enter the 3M Young
Scientist Challenge. He wound up winning the contest, which came with a $25, 000 prize. Perhaps more
importantly, the 3M Young Scientist Challenge pairs students with older, more experienced “mentor” scientists
who can guide them. Heman is now working with Vito Rebecca, a scientist at Johns Hopkins University. He and
Dr. Rebecca are running tests to see if the soap helps the mice with skin cancer.
Heman knows that it will take a long time and a lot of effort to develop his soap. He needs to test it completely
and get it approved. He encourages other young people to think of ways they can contribute. “Just keep inventing, ”
Heman says. “Keep thinking of new ways to improve our world and keep making it a better place. ”
2
4. What led to Heman's idea for a soap?
A. The pursuit of comprehensive medical knowledge.
B. The pity for the endangered skin cancer patients.
C. The words and deeds from his caring and loving parents.
D. The scene of people working outside without skin protection.
2
5. What can we learn about Heman from paragraph 3?
A. He was brainy and valued hands-on experience.
B. He was full of energy and liked doing experiments.
C. He was courageous and chose to test new drugs.
D. He was in poor health and took medicine regularly.
2
6. What does paragraph 4 mainly talk about?
A. The effort Heman made.
B. The challenges Heman faced.
C. The benefits Heman's video brought to him.
D. The guidance Heman got from some scientists.
2
7. What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A. The soap will soon come onto the market.
B. The soap leaves something to be desired.
C. Today's young people are lacking in creativity.
D. It's young people's duty to improve our world.
C

For years, scientists have believed that the only way oxygen could be created in the ocean was through
photosynthesis. Huge amounts of oxygen get produced in the sunlight of the upper ocean, but scientists expected
that on the dark ocean bottom, oxygen levels would drop as animals used the water's oxygen for energy.
But in 2013, Andrew Sweetman, a scientist who studies the ocean floor, began to notice something strange.
When he measured the oxygen in the water above the ocean floor, he found that the levels of oxygen were rising.
That didn't make sense. There's no light on the ocean floor, so photosynthesis can't happen there. Dr. Sweetman
thought his equipment wasn't working. But he was wrong. In 2021, he used a different method to measure the
oxygen levels. The new measurements also showed oxygen levels rising. That's when he realized something
unusual was going on. Somehow, oxygen was being created on the dark ocean floor.
Many companies are interested in mining the sea bottom, where there are many small rock-like objects called
“
polymetallic nodules (多金属结核) ”. These nodules may be responsible for creating the “dark oxygen”. To learn
more about how the oxygen was being created, Dr. Sweetman collected samples of the nodules and took them back
to the laboratory to study.
At first, they thought that tiny living things called microbes (微生物) might be creating oxygen. Then they
thought that the nodules might be releasing oxygen somehow. But neither idea was right. Finally, Dr. Sweetman
began to wonder if the nodules were somehow acting like batteries, and producing electricity. The idea made sense.
Working with scientists at Northwestern University, Dr. Sweetman discovered that the nodules produce a small
amount of electricity. When the nodules are close together, they create enough electricity to produce oxygen.
The discovery raises more concerns about deep-sea mining. These nodules are exactly what many mining
companies are hoping to collect. Dr. Sweetman worries that deep-sea mining could destroy the nodules, which is
important to the way the deep sea works.

A. The nodules are invaluable and unending.
B. We should be cautious about seabed mining.
D. We are ignorant of the way the deep sea works.
C. The new discovery means ruining the nodules.

The belief that failure leads to success may be both inaccurate and damaging to society, according to research
published by the American Psychological Association.

Researchers conducted 11 experiments with more than 1, 800 participants across many domains and compared
national statistics to the participants’ responses. In one experiment, participants vastly overestimated the percentage
of potential nurses, lawyers and teachers who pass licensing exams after previously failing them. “People expect
success to follow failure much more often than it actually does, ” said lead researcher Lauren Winkler, PhD, an
assistant professor of management and organizations at Northwestern University. “People usually assume that past
behavior predicts future behavior, so it's surprising that we often believe the opposite when it comes to succeeding
after failure. ”
In some experiments, participants wrongly assumed that people pay attention to their mistakes and learn from
them. In one field test, nurses overestimated how much their colleagues would learn from a past error. The research
was published online in the Journal of Experimental Psychology: General. “People often confuse what is with what
ought to be, ” Winkler said. “People ought to pay attention and learn from failure, but often they don't as failure
makes them sad. ”
While telling people they will succeed after failure may make them feel better, that mindset can have
damaging real-world consequences. In one experiment, participants assumed that heart patients would embrace
healthier lifestyles when many of them don't. “Some people believe that problems will self-correct after failure, so
they are less motivated to help those in need, ” Winkler said. “Why would we invest time or money to help
struggling populations if we believe that they will right themselves? ”
Winkler suggested that correcting our misguided beliefs about failure could lead to more public money being
spent more wisely when it comes to helping those in need.

B. Unfavorable.
C. Neutral.
D. Indifferent.

5. Why is the research conducted?
A. To challenge a widely-held belief.
C. To correct attitudes towards success.
