| Hi, my name is Rylee, I am a grade 7, first year french immersion student. I live in the Lobster Capital of Canada a small town in Southwestern Nova Scotia. I enjoy playing organized team sports such as soccer,basketball and softball. I am also part of a dance crew. Over the summer I volunteered 15 hours at a local exhibition. I won 2 remembrance day poster contests. At my school science fair I placed first and also received an Agricultural Awareness Award presented by the Nova Scotia Department of Agriculture. My inspiration for my science project was that last summer I started a vegetable garden that needed to be watered multiple times a day, I wanted to find a way to not have to water my garden as often and save water. I don't have any plans to further my investigation, but I would like to find a way to see how long hydrogel can last before biodegrading and needing to be replaced. My advice for other students thinking about doing a project would be, find an original idea and the topic should be something they are interested in. |
