| My name is Ian Paton and I am twelve years old. I live in Whitehorse, Yukon and attend Holy Family Elementary. My favorite sport is soccer, which I have been playing since the age of four. I enjoy other activities such as disc golf, camping, volleyball, basketball, and playing Dungeons and Dragons with my family. This science fair is my first one and I am very happy to be attending this years CWSF. My partner Gavin was my inspiration for this project, he got me in to bacteria. It was an interesting and fun experience to grow and learn more about bacteria. In the future maybe my partner and I will attempt a more complex project. If you plan on having a partner it is important to make sure they will also be willing to give up time to help, my partner Gavin and I worked very well together. I am excited to compete against other young scientists from across Canada. |
