Earth & Environmental Sciences: Aquifer Recovery

Stirling Senior P.S.

A model of an aquifer was built and contaminated with red food dye. Water
was then used to flush the contaminate from the aquifer until it came out
clear. Various amounts of contaminate were used to find the ratio of water
to contaminate.

Bio-Binding: A Microbial Precipit-Action
Earth & Environmental Sciences
Moira S.S.
An artificially induced particle cementation via microbial induction of soil
samples was produced using specific urease positive microbes. In a
calcium rich, water prone soil environment these urease positive microbes
work effectively under harsh pH conditions and room temperatures to
produce a binding particulate matrix in the soil. This system can eliminate
liquefaction susceptible soil deposits during cyclic loading produced by
earthquakes.

Comparing the Efficiency of Paper-Based and Computer-Based
Approaches for Memori
Life Sciences
Albert College
This experiment was conducted to determine the efficiency of paper-based
and computer-based studying methods. Primary school students were
given Hebrew letters to memorize from study sheets, flash cards or a
computer chart. Their test results indicate that paper-based approaches are
much more efficient

Dice it up!

‰cole secondaire publique Marc-Garneau

My project is about non transitive dice. Non transitive dice are
counter-intuitive dice that trick your opponent. When using non transitive
dice correctly, you can win the majority of the time when rolling the dice.
This means that you will roll the highest number most of the time. Non
transitive dice are a great example of the non transitive relationship where
A>B>C>A etc.

The main objective of a dairy farm is to produce as much milk as possible
from their herd. Interested in the factors that produce a great amount of
milk, I put a possible variable to the test. I tried different genres of music to
see if it would change the amount of milk given.

This great team represented our area, their schools, our sponsors  and themselves excellently. This year we did extremely well again.  Emmanuelle Bérubé won an honourable mention in Life Sciences. Justn Whitaker won best in fair, $48,500 in money and scholarships. This is the best of the best.
