| Michael - From Markham, Ontario, Michael Verdirame is an accomplished Grade 12 student and student leader at Brother Andre Catholic High School. Growing up on a near a large forest, Michael quickly developed an appreciation for the life sciences and the outdoors. Last year, he co-founded the Recycling Committee at his school. In his spare time, he enjoys riding and racing his dirt bike in the great outdoors. | | Kinsey - I am currently in my last semester of high school, and the first semester of my grade twelve year was spent at the Ontario Science Centre Science School. I am an active part of the student community and vice president of the Luke 4:18 social justice councilmat my school. My time is divided between volunteering at an old age and art, which I am very passionate about. I am hoping to pursue a career in medicine and possibly ophthalmology. |

This method produced up to 0.22 grams of ethanol per kilogram of onions in a high school laboratory setting. Using a combination of results and statistical analysis, onions may be the favourable crop for ethanol. |
