Phytoremediation of the Oil Sands
Home School  -  Calgary, AB
Suncor Energy Summa Cum Laude Award -  $500.00
View Project:  virtualsciencefair.org/2010/millxk2
Abstract: This project used Mycorrhizal inoculated soybean plants as a means of phytoremediation in the Alberta Oil sands. The plants were grown in tailing sands soil, to determine if the mycorrhizal addition allowed growth in the barren soil, and remediation of the hydrocarbons in the soil. The addition of the mycorrhizal fungus increased the growth in the soybean plants allowing them to remediate the soil

Solar Juice
Centennial Collegiate Vocational Institute  -  Guelph, ON
Lockheed Martin Canada Summa Cum Laude Award -  $500.00
View Project:  virtualsciencefair.org/2010/pansxs2
Abstract: Possible methods to prolong the operational lifespan of dye sensitized solar cells were investigated. Benzoic acid was used to inhibit bacterial growth on the natural plant dye, and sealing agents were used to prevent the evaporation of liquid electrolyte. Benzoic acid was found to have a positive effect on red cabbage dye, depending on several factors. All tested sealing agents proved to work.

Styrofoam Recycling with Limonene
King's Christian Collegiate  -  Oakville, ON
Suncor Energy Magna Cum Laude Award -  $100.00
View Project:  virtualsciencefair.org/2010/yoosxs2
Abstract: Styrofoam cannot be decomposed in a natural way and so it is causing soil pollution. It wastes a huge space, and does not have many ways to be recycled in an eco-friendly way. Limonene, from peels of fruits, such as orange, can dissolve Styrofoam without causing any environmental pollution. So this project introduces the new developed idea of recycling Styrofoam in an eco-friendly way.
Project Number: 4668	Grades: 10-12   Earth/Energy/Environmental
