| My name is Iain Green and I’m in grade 8 at Pine Ridge Middle School in Nova Scotia. I have entered the science fair every time I could since grade 4, and this is my first time going to the Canada wide fair and I am extremely excited. In my spare time I read a lot and play video games. I play soccer and volleyball, and have been to provincials for both. I also play the trumpet in my school concert band and jazz band. I am not completely sure what I want to do in my future, but I am thinking of either being a writer or a palaeontologist. I thought of the idea for my science fair project because I had just gotten a new paint ball marker and I wanted to do something with it. I would say that to have a good science fair project, you have to do it on something you are really interested in. |
