| Hi, I'm Anna O'Grady, and I'm a Grade 12 student from Bishops College, Newfoundland. In school I've completed my Physics public course, and this year I'm taking my Chemistry public course. I have an interest in good music and movies, and a strong interest in anything science. My main field of science is astronomy and astrophysics, something that I hope to see myself doing as a career. Last year at the CWSF, I received a Silver Medal, the Canadian Association of Physics Award, and I had the distinct honor of attending the International Summer School for Young Physicists - an experience I will never forget. At the regional science fair this year in Newfoundland, I was the Best in Fair, and I also received an award from the Royal Astronomical Society of Canada. Outside of school, I volunteer at my church every Sunday, and I've been taking piano lessons for twelve years. |

Unveiling Dark Matter: A Study of Dark Matter and its Effects on Galaxy Clusters
| Défi: | Découverte | | Catégorie: | Sénior | | Région: | Eastern Newfoundland | | Ville: | St. John's, NL | | École: | Bishops College | | Sommaire: | For my science project, I studied the various physical properties of a galaxy cluster, and through my observations, I was able to infer the existence of dark matter. In my project I retrieved data from an astronomical database, transformed the observed values into physical data, and finally calculated the kinetic and gravitational energies of the galaxy cluster. |
