It91裸聊视频檚 time for Central Okanagan students to show off their latest science experiments.
The annual Science Fair allowed public-school students to present their innovative displays on Friday and Saturday at UBCO.
French Immersion students Gabriella Kennedy, 11, and Cassandra MacDonald, 10, showed off Vite! Vite! Vite! which means Quickly! Quickly! Quickly! in French.
Their project questioned if chores would be done faster with motivation.
The students did their chores including: washing dishes, the floor and doing laundry and set time-limit goals, trying to beat those goals to increase motivation.
