2006 |
Hi, my name is Kaiti. At the time I conducted this science
project I was 12 years old. It was a good choice of topics for me
personally, because I think evaporation is really
interesting and I didn't have to wait and watch my project
while experimenting.
I presented my project to judges at the regional Mid-Columbia Science
Fair on March 9, 2006. I got an Award of Distinction for experiment
design. I also won 3rd place for sixth grade life science and was
a discovery channel award nominy.
I also took my project to the Washington State Science and Engineering
Fair on March 31, 2006. I won a third place ribbon for sixth grade.
My Family
I have three relatives that live with me. My mom, Jan, likes to
show cats and she loves animals. I have a 14-year-old sister
named Stefani. She was born December 31 and she goes to cat shows
with my mom. My dad Peter despises going to cat shows. He
loves sports and helps coach my basketball team. My dad is really
involved in our schools, also. He is on the levy committee annd
the PTSO. I also have a grown up brother named Shaun, who lives
in Beaverton, Oregon and a grown up sister named Heather who
lives in Seattle with her two daughters, Holly and Megan.
My Hobbies and Interests
I am really interested in sports. I like to play basketball, volleyball, soccer, and tennis. My family has season tickets to the Yakima Bears games, so I watch baseball a lot. I also enjoy dancing and singing, although my sister insists I sing terribly. I love to read and have read the second Harry Potter book about 30 times. My favorite author is Phyllis Reynolds Naylor. I love to play video games, especially Mario Kart Double Dash and Super Mario Advance 3.
My Plans for the Future
I plan to go through my remaining school years with an A average and hopefully graduate high school with a scholarship to any college. I would either like to go to Harvard, Oxford, or University of Washington. I hope to become either a marine biologist, a teacher, or a botonist, and adopt two kids and live in Northern California.
Self Evaluation of My Project
- How thorough and complete was my project? My project was pretty thorough and complete, but I had a few loopholes in my procedures.
- What would I do differently if starting over again? I
would work harder on my report and information. I would
also make my experiment a lot longer.
- What major strengths does my project have? My
experiment design because I covered
every possible constant I needed.
- What weaknesses or problems does my project
have? My data is the only big problem because the
temperature
chart didn't make sense.
- How worthwhile are my experimental results for the
world? They are very worthwhile
because evaporation affects everyone in the world.
- What new skills did I
learn or vastly improve during my project work? I learned to type
a lot better than I used to!
- In what ways did I enjoy my study and work? I really
enjoyed doiung my experiment because
it was really interesting.
