| I am very interested in practical applications of science in daily life. Last year in grade 6, I received the Young Science Innovator of the Year Award at our Regional Science Fair, for my experiment on catching fungus gnats using different colours. I enjoy dancing (jazz, tap and hip hop) and spending time with my friends. I play on the school’s basketball team and we won our local school tournament. This year I was the silver medalist in a French Speech Competition (Concours d’Art Oratoire). I love to travel, experience different cultures and enjoy trying out new foods. Recently I visited the great pyramids and Abu Simbel in Egypt. It was a wonderful experience riding a camel at sunset along the banks of the Nile. |

Slow Down and Save with Ethanol
| Division: | Engineering & Computing Sciences / Automotive | | Category: | Junior | | Region: | Northern British Columbia | | City: | Dawson Creek, BC | | School: | Ecole Frank Ross Elementary | | Abstract: | This project evaluates three types of gasoline: regular, premium and 10% ethanol blended gas for their fuel efficiency. These three types of gas were tested at two different driving speeds: 93 km/h and 105 km/h over an extended period of time.
