- I put 225g of water into 3 jars and filled 1 of them with 15g of vinegar another with 15g of sugar another with 15g of lemon juice the last 2 jars were filled with 241g of water and I sprayed hair spray onto 1 of the branches the last one was my controlled variable.

- Every week I checked the trees and measured liquid in the jars and counted the needles for 6 weeks.

Purpose: To stop Christmas trees from losing their needles.

Materials: 2, 2 liter plastic bottles, soil, clay, ruler, hole punch, 60 cm string, 6 clear plastic cups,  potting soil, 3 tsp. oil, measuring spoon 

For my experiment I found out if music helped plants grow and i did it with multiple type of music. I used the genres of music Rock and Classique to see if it made a difference in tomato plants to growth. I reaserched, explained how my experiment would work and I showed the progress of my plants every week. I will also be bringing my plants with me to show the audiances the progress after a bit more than a month. It was really fun to do this experiment! 

My partner and I chose to do this project because Emery has a migraine disorder. We also  wanted to learn the different triggers to and symptoms to prevent having migraines. We found out that migraines dont last forever and that you grow then out. Another thing we learned is that there are many different kinds of migraines that people have. The most interesting thing we learned is that the spinal cord and tight muscles can cause migraines.

We did our project on Diabetes. Some people do not know that dogs can get diabetes  and some people don't know the side effects of diabetes with humans and dogs. So we choose it so they can understand diabetes in dogs and people. To make it better for our audience to understand if we compare the two together with diabetes and similarities between dogs and humans. One difference that we found out was that human diabetes is more intense than dog diabetes. 

Cookie curiosity 

For my experiment I changed the amount of baking soda in a chocolate chip cookie recipe. 

Variables: The change was one table spoon, one tea spoon, and no baking soda. The results: The ones with no baking soda didn't really spread out and did not rise or brown.  The ones with a teaspoon (a teaspoon is the perfect amount which is following the recipe perfectly) of baking soda browns nicely and very and were nice and chewy. The ones with a table spoon browns a lot and are very thin.  

Purpose: The purpose was to see the effects of changing the amounts of baking soda. And how it affected the cookies. 

A study of light mixing and why light is red green and blue not red yellow and blue.

Research question on What are Asteroids made of? Clay/ Metal

Description: We did a research project (non-experimental). Our research project was: we researched how long it would take for the egg to dissolve in vinegar. After for our further research, we researched if you can colour the egg and can you eat the egg. 

Purpose: We researched the rubber egg because we had a lot of questions about the rubber egg. How does it dissolve in vinegar and how long it would take. We also researched the shell and what it was made up of.

Our project on the Aurora Borealis

Description: Our project is on Aurora borealis and how they are formed. We did a research based project (non-experimental). We researched many things: weather, colors and auroras on other planets. Our presentation also includes ideas for further research.

Variables: NA

Purpose: Our purpose is to teach people about auroras, help them understand them better and to raise awareness of them. We also want people to be interested in learning new things. If people understand them better, we can learn to see them more clearly.

The research question answers questions on what is needed to have life on other planets? such as liquid water source, energy source such as sunlight or chemical energy and other factors.

The wing shape fundamentally determines an airplane's flight performance. 4 different wings model planes are created and data is collected on the effect of the shape of the wing on the distance and the time the plane can fly.

What I did was to capture and store biogenic CO2 using CALF-20 and feed it to plants to see them grow in order to mitigate global warming. My manipulated variable was the amount of biogenic CO2 being fed to the plants(2000 ppm); the responding variable was the plant's growth (height, leaf count, biomass); the controlled variable was light, water, soil, temperature, humidity and pot size. The reason I did this project was to propose a pathway in mitigating global warming. The approach is to reduce people's carbon footprints by proposing a scientific and economic pathway to carbon neutral fruits and vegetables.

for my science fair I wanted to explain the history,movement and importance of animatronics.to make this exciting i made myself a replica that works via wireless remote.The type of project is innovation.I made my replica using a 3D printer.The purpose is to show people that animatronics are very useful in the modern day of child entertainment.

What we did is we tested 4 different sports drinks to find out which one had the most electrolytes per 1 cup. The sports drinks that we used are PRIME, Body Armor, Gatorade, and Powerade. Our controlled variables are the multi meter set up, the bowls, and the temperature. Our manipulated variables are the sports drinks. The responding variables are the amount of electrolytes. We wanted to know which sports drink had the most electrolytes per one cup so that it was the same amount for each drink.

After a game or practice, hockey equipment often becomes damp and warm, which helps bacteria multiply. These bacteria cause bad odors and can sometimes lead to skin infections. The goal of our experiment is to find the best way to dry equipment to prevent bacterial growth. Several methods were tested: air drying, drying with a fan using cold air, and drying with a fan using warm air. The independent variable is the way the hockey equipment is dried, the dependent variable is the amount of bacteria that grows on equipment, and the controlled variables are; the time the sample is taken, the same hockey bag and the same hockey equipment, the amount of time the equipment is left to dry, the amount of time allowed for bacterial growth. This project can help players keep their equipment cleaner and reduce unpleasant odors.

Our parents often tell us not to drink too many sugary or caffeinated drinks to have healthier teeth. We want to test to what degree different drinks can rot, stain, or damage teeth. The independent variable is the type of liquid, the dependent variable is how the teeth look after being in the liquids (for example: color, stains, or damage), the controlled variables include, the location of the experiment, the amount of liquid, the cups used, the length of time the teeth stay in the liquid, the type of teeth used, the toothpaste, and the toothbrush. By analyzing these results, we can better undertand how different beverages affect teeth and make healthier choice for our dental health.

We've always heard that classical music was ideal for studying and concentration. We wanted to see is this is true so we could share this information with our friends to help us study in the best way possible for school assignments. To do this, we used a website which measures human reaction time while participants listened to 5 different muscial genres. Participants heard classical, lo-fi, metal, pop, and electronic music while completing a reation test by clicking when a red light turns green. The independant variable is the type of music, the dependant variable is the reaction time and the controlled variables include, the age of the participants, the volume of the music, the website used for the test, the order of the songs, and the specific songs used.

I tested witch type of paper floter for the longest. Then i tryed different materiels to see witch one helped the most. My variables were the different kind of paper and protectors that i put on the boats. I tried 3 differents protectors, wax, sealant and tin foil.The purpose of the experiment was to see if it was possible for a paper boat to float for more than 20 minutes. 

In my project I made three different ratios of Oobleck/non-Newtonian fluid, and filled three marked balloons with the Oobleck/non-Newtonian fluid. I took the balloons outside and set them on a wooden stand. I then measured five feet away from the wooden stand and shot balloon (number one)with (ratio number one with) a .22rifle from the five foot mark. Then I took the same bowl I stired ratio number one in, and ran over to the wooden stand. Then I retrieved the balloon and put it in the bowl. I then repeated those 2 steps two more time's with balloons two and three. Then I weighed the balloons in the bowls and subtracted the weight of the bowl to see which ratio could withstand the bullet the best.

My one manipulated variable is the ratio of corn starch to water in a non-Newtonian fluid.

My one manipulated variable is the firmness of the fluid.

My many controlled variables are tap water, Fleischmann's cornstarch, measuring spoons and bowls.

The purpose of my experiment is to test the effect of the firmness in a varying cornstarch to water (non-Newtonian) ratios to see which one can best withstand the impact of a .22 bullet at 5 feet.

I love playing and watching baseball and I've always wondered why the baseballs are different in the Minor Leagues and Major Leagues. To explore this, I focused on the design and thickness of the seams on the baseballs to see if there are advantages for each level of baseball. I used two plastic cups to simulate different seam designs and thickness to measure rotation speed, lift and lateral movement. The independent variable is the seams, the dependant variable is the performance of the ball and the controlled variables include; the launcher, the cups, the seam material, same location, same timeframe. My experiment tested different designs and showed the advantages and disadvantages of each.

In my experiment I wanted to see what Bath Bomb would dissolve faster in different liquids and temperatures. My variables in my project are the liquids,the bath bombs, and the things that will stay the same are the amount of the liquids, temperature will stay the same. My purpose of the experiment was to see what other liquids and temperature would dissolve bath bombs faster then water. 

To increase safety on sidewalks and streets during the winter, I wanted to find out which substance we can buy to melt ice most effectively. I used mixtures composed of sodium chloride (salt and salt–sand mixtures) which have corrosive properties that help melt ice. These products are particularly effective when ice becomes embedded in surfaces and is difficult to remove. To determine which substance melts ice the fastest, I used timers to time the duration that each ice cube took to melt after the substance was applied to its surface. I also completed a test that did not use any substance so that I had a control group. The independent variable is the substance used to melt the ice, the responding variable is the time it takes for the ice to melt, the controlled variables are; the amount of ice blocks, the amount of each substance, the location where I made our observations, the size of the bowls, the scale used for weighing, and the room temperature.

I made my project about safty against earth quakes in areas where earth quakes are not common and are in low magnitude like in Canada but not places like Chile. It came to my attention that when an earthquake happens it can cause damage to belongings inside your house, as an example i will give a demonstration, One time in like 2024, where we had a very small magnitude earthquake but since i live on a mobile home it still shakes quite a bit and knocked over my monitor for my computer setup and it broke it. For my project I used playing marbles, micro plastics and profesional friction reducer, the reason for these items is because marbles are typically very durable and they are also omnidirectional(which means move in any direction). The reason I used micro plastics is becuase they provide a thin layer of mini marbles that are also omnidirectional and allow for freer movement. And the professional friction reducer should be self-explanatory but if not, now what the professional friction reducer does is made everything even more slippery. So after many attemps with trial and error I figuired out that if i put everything together it works the best.

Three of the most devastating neurological diseases – Multiple Sclerosis, Parkinson’s Disease, and Epilepsy – affect thousands of Albertans and currently have no cure, yet the high cost and low financial incentive of developing new drugs means that many patients are left without adequate treatment options. This study investigated whether these three diseases share the same broken molecular machinery at the genetic level, and whether existing approved drugs could be repurposed to target that shared machinery – potentially treating all three conditions without the need for expensive new drug development. Using open-access databases and free computational tools, disease-associated genes were extracted for each condition, compared to identify 30 genes shared across all three diseases, and fed into a protein interaction network to determine which shared genes are the most biologically influential – called hub genes. Six hub genes were identified as the most highly connected nodes in the network, all belonging to glutamate and sodium channel signalling pathways. This reveals that a process called glutamate excitotoxicity (overactive brain signalling causing neurons to destroy themselves) is the dominant shared mechanism across MS, Parkinson's, and Epilepsy. A drug interaction database was then searched against these hub genes, producing 69 approved drug interactions, with several drugs targeting multiple hub genes simultaneously. Additionally, literature validation on PubMed confirmed that every top drug candidate already has published clinical or preclinical evidence connecting it to at least one of the three diseases. This study demonstrates that existing approved drugs may already hold the key to treating MS, Parkinson's, and Epilepsy – and that identifying them required not a lab or a budget, but a network, a database, and the right question.

For my project I had 3 age category's answer a series of questions then go for a 10 minute walk. After the walk they re-answered the same questions so I could graph the differences between the before and after. In the end my results showed that for the grade 7 and adults their mood was lifted and for the younger children they showed to be a lot more tired after the walk. From my research and experiment I have discovered that  going outside is very beneficial for our mental health by lifting our mood, reducing stress and anxiety, as well as boosting our creativity. It is also good for our physical health by helping us to get daily fresh air which strengthens our immune system and helps us to be more active. Overall we need to work on getting outside more and increase our physical activity. 

The Purpose of the experiment was to measure the change in temperature of water(Mice) when they were taken outside for a period of time. Independent variables: Temperature. Dependent variable: Quality of heat.

This project investigates the combined effects of hydrogel scaffolds and ultrasound stimulation on nutrient transport in avascular cartilage models. Cartilage tissue, such as the meniscus in the knee, heals poorly because it lacks blood vessels, so delivering nutrients effectively is a major challenge. To model this, dense gelatin and agar gels were used to simulate avascular cartilage, and small tears were created to represent injury sites. Hydrogel scaffolds were inserted into the tears to mimic biomaterials used in regenerative medicine, and nutrient diffusion was tested both with and without ultrasound stimulation. The independent variables were the presence of hydrogel scaffolds and the application of ultrasound, while the dependent variable was the depth and rate of nutrient diffusion into the gel. The purpose of this study was to determine whether combining hydrogel scaffolds with ultrasound could improve nutrient delivery to damaged cartilage, providing insight into potential non-surgical therapies for cartilage repair.

The purpose of this study was to determine the at risk species in Alberta and to monitor the health of the province's ecosystem. There were 4 different areas of at risk species.
