Done in English.

Project Format

My project was presented in our school and on the CVSF in HTML standard format.

Project Summary

My project looked at the affect of four types  of Cleaners (saponin, soap and synthetic detergent and water) and how well each will clean four types of stains (coffee, chocolate, olive oil and wine). Each stain was made on a piece of 100% cotton (natural fibre) cloth.  I found that plain soap was as good a cleaner as synthetic detergent. My hypothesis was wrong and because of this I would rather use regular soap to clean my cloths as it is more biodegradable and made from renewable materials.

Software Tools

I used Microsoft FrontPage to edit my web pages and web site and used Adobe Photoshop to create and edit the graphics.  The graph was created in Excel.

Hardware Tools

I used a digital camera to take the pictures on this website and a digital thermometer to measure the mouth temperature.

Source of the Idea

The project idea came from talking to my Dad who has been a judge at the Calgary Youth Science Fair.
