| I am a grade 9 student at Fellowes High School in Pembroke, Ontario. I love all subjects in school but particularly math and science. I am involved in many school activities such as sports teams, Key Club, and Free the Children Club. This year I have been a member of the cross-country, figure skating, badminton, and track team. For Key Club I have been elected to be treasurer for the 2015-2016 year. Outside of school, my hobbies include swimming, figure skating, ballet, and playing the piano. I have been playing the piano for 9 years. In grade 8 I was fascinated when I attended a microbiology course at Carleton University, which gave me the idea of applying what I have learned in the course into my project. I have been interested in microbiology since then. My advice for other students thinking about doing a project is to do it on a topic that truly interests you! In the future, I would like to pursue a career in the medical field. |

Sensitivity disks containing the antibiotic was applied to agar surfaces that were inoculated with bacteria. The effectiveness of the antibiotic was determined by the diameter of the zone of inhibition. |
