Marine biology is what I am interested in the most, but I am planning to look further into neuroscience. I got interested in science in my 7th grade year, by my science teacher who also got me involved in the science fair. This will be my 3rd year attending the Canada Wide science Fair, and I am excited to go back for an amazing experience. |

Two control groups containing five L. Esculentum specimens each were tested and measured every 72 hours to observe a difference in height, leaf count, and stalk diameter. It was found that growing the specimens inverted aided in an increased height growth, but there was minimal difference in leaf count and stalk diameter. |
