| My name is Madison McIntyre. I'm thirteen years old and in grade eight. I live in a small town in northern Manitoba called Flin Flon. I love sports and play soccer, volleyball, basketball and badminton. I also enjoy the outdoors including quadding, sea-doing, fishing and swimming. I decided to do my science fair project this year on HIV/AIDS after having a presentation in my classroom from the local public health nurses on STI’s and HIV/AIDS. This presentation got me thinking about how much people in Flin Flon know about HIV/AIDS and how to keep themselves safe. In the future I may consider re-surveying another group of individuals in the same age categories to see if I duplicate the same results. My advice to other students is to survey a large sample size and take the time to carefully review your data. |
