| Sophia - Bonjour! I'm Sophia, and my project partner is Gillian. This is my second year at Canada Wide, and I'm so lucky to be able to return! I see science as the new frontier where the only limit is one's imagination; a frontier where inquiry and ability matter, not race or gender. I plan to become a surgeon, or an aero-space engineer. I also hope to join the Canadian Air Force. In the meantime, I work two jobs with children with special needs. I enjoy doing a variety of activities such as skating, swimming, running, singing, reading, acting, and watching anything with the amazing Hugh Laurie in it. Thanks to everyone involved with CWSF, and Team BASEF! | | Gillian - My name is Gillian. My project partner is Sophia. I live in a family of five and attend Notre Dame Catholic High School in Burlington. I babysit young children and have been an altar-server in my parish since Grade 4. I love working with children and animals, and am a volunteer with the local recreation centre, helping kids with special needs. My favourite colour is green, and I am a little shy. My first experience with judging and challenges was in Grade 7 when we entered a Robotic Arm Building Challenge, and we won a bronze medal. In Grade 8, our modified Robotic Arm was awarded a gold medal. We first entered our Regional Science Fair last year when we studied the effectiveness of hand sanitizers. I am very creative and enjoy producing artwork, clay figures, and making jewelry. I love working on projects and am looking forward to our exciting week in Winnipeg. |

We're Still Not Plastic Bags: Perfecting the Perfect Plastic
| Division: | Sciences de la santé / Innovation environnementale | | Catégorie: | Intermédiaire | | Région: | Bay Area | | Ville: | Burlington, ON | | École: | Notre Dame S.S. | | Sommaire: | The purpose of our project is to create a biodegradable plastic that has the desirable properties of regular plastics, without being harmful to the environment. We incorporated different materials with water-resistant properties into our plastic recipe (water, gelatine, and glycerine)- Beta Carotene and Glucosamine-and performed various tests to determine which plastic was the most successful. Our glucosamine plastic proved to be the most successful. |
