| I am a Grade 7 student who has always like to ask questions. The inspiration for my project came from looking at a rusty SOS pad sitting on the kitchen counter. I wondered if there were any simple ways to prevent the pads from rusting so quickly. I like lots of different kinds of activities. I play hockey, baseball and snowboard. At school I am on the robotics team, in the choir and am a member of the school drama club. I hope to go to university and become a botanist studying the growth rates of trees. |
