| I'm John Burns Duynisveld. I'm in grade 10 at Pugwash District High School, where my favorite subjects are math and science. This is my 3rd CWSF, and I am very much looking forward to CWSF 2015! In the winter, I curl and ski. In the summer, I golf and run. I enjoy music and video games year round. I have been a 4-H member for 7 years, taking a variety of projects, up to provincial level. After high school, I plan to study to be research scientist. |

Are There Differences in How Lettuce Genotypes Respond to Light Sources?
| Challenge: | Resources | | Category: | Intermediate | | Region: | Chignecto East | | City: | Wallace, NS | | School: | Pugwash District High School | | Abstract: | The effect of lettuce genotype and lighting source was studied. Five genotypes of lettuce were planted under either LED or fluorescent lights. There were significant genotype by light source interactions noted in 25 day leaf counts and leaf size.
