X Marks the Pill
| Division: | Life Sciences | | Category: | Junior | | Region: | Bluewater | | City: | Mildmay, ON | | School: | Sacred Heart School | | Abstract: | I surveyed children from the ages 4 to 14 to see if they were able to tell the difference between pills and candy. I learned that the average child had an accuracy of 71.2%. I suggested putting a black X on all drugs, and when we put a black X on the survey, the results increased from 71.2% to 95.8%. My idea could save lives! |
