| Gabrielle - My name is Gabrielle Molloy and I am a 16 year old grade 11 French immersion student at Bishops College in St. John's Newfoundland. At school I am involved with YAC (Youth Action Committee), chamber choir and International Club. Outside of school I enjoy dancing three times a week (tap, jazz and hip hop), curling competitively, practicing 3 times a week, as well as piano lessons which I have doing for 10 years. I also enjoy volunteering in the community with MUN's food bank, at my neighborhood elementary school and teaching children ages 6-8 curling. Last year I was awarded my bronze medal for the Duke of Edinburgh program and I am currently in the process of completing silver. In the future I plan on attending Memorial University to complete a business degree and then travel outside my province to get a law degree. This year our project won Best of Fair at our school science fair and we also won a gold medal in our region. The inspiration for this project came from research and our interest in natural/herbal remedies and continues to be a work in progress This is my first CWSF and I'm looking forward to it! | | Rebecca - Hello, my name is Rebecca Casey and I am a 16 year old, grade 11, french immersion student at Bishops College in St. John's, Newfoundland.

Effects of Coconut Oil on Alzheimer’s Disease
| Challenge: | Health | | Category: | Senior | | Region: | Eastern Newfoundland | | City: | St. John's, NL | | School: | | | Abstract: | For our project, we tested the effects of coconut oil on Alzheimer's disease. We applied three different concentrations of coconut oil and two different molarities of Beta Amyloid (a plaque which is the proposed cause of Alzheimer's disease) to cortical neurons. The results conclude that coconut oil has a positive effect on the disease as there were more living cells when the oil was added. |
