Opera’s popularity surprises Parkland student,
earns trip to national science fair competition

by Girard Hengen
The Review

Could it be that opera is the
budding music of choice among
high schoolers?

According to the results of a
questionnaire circulated by Kelly
Gallins among her Grade 9 Park-
land Secondary school classmates,
that appears to be so.

“That was startling,”
lins of the result.

The 14-year-old made the disco-
very in a science fair project that
has taken her to a national compe-
{ition running this week in Van-
couver.

She is one of five youngsters
who competed in the Vancouver
Island Regional Science Fair last
month at UVic.

Her presentation won the honor
to advance to the Canada-Wide
Science Fai, which began at the
University of B.C. Sunday and
continues until May 19.

Her topic was called: “Esti-
mates of the Passage of Time as
Affected by Music.”

She explains: “I am interested
in music. I have played a musical
instrument for seven years.

“For me, some pieces seem to
go on forever and some seem
shorter, so I wanted to see if other
people felt that.”

She wondered if time seemed to
go faster or slower depending on
whether a person was in one kind
of musical environment, like jazz,
or another, like classical.

Further, she hoped to discover if
factors like familiarity, preference,
volume and tempo influence a
person’s percention of time.

The questionnaire asked sub-
. jects to record their impressions
about nine pieces of music they
listened to. Selections ranged from
classic and new rock, country,
classical, jazz, folk, clevator-type,
and, of course, opera.

She found that music did indeed
affect one’s perception of the pas-
sage of time. Different selections

gave listeners the impression that
more or less time had elapsed.

The Grade Nines felt folk music
seemed to drag on the longest,
while opera and rock selections
were perceived to be the shortest.

Gallins’ project will be compet-
ing against those of over 700
students from 105 regions of Can-
ada.

Judging the projects will be
about 150 experts in the academic
and professional worlds.

Her project was picked fourth
overall at the Vancouver Island
regional fair. She also won the
Alzheimers Association award for
originality.

Other Parkland students came
awards at the fair.

Kelly’s brother Graeme, who is
in Grade 10, was first in the senior
division for his project, “A Study
of the Occupational Objectives of
Parkland students.”

Leak Cooke won the $200 B.C
Hydro award for “Solar Cells.”
The Geological Association of
Canada award went to Melissa
Gignac for “The Great Shake.”

Jill Favel won the Agriculture
and Environment Association
award for “Agricultural Erosion.”
Brad Procter won the Gordon
Patterson $50 Communication
award for ““Depth Perception of
the Eye.” Lisa Stewart received an
honorable mention for ‘Oil Disas-
ter at Sea,” and Carly Smethurst’s
“Textiles” earned an honorable

mention.

Most of the projects were done
for the Grade 9 honors science
course taught by Gord Redlin.

“I was very impressed with the
quality of their work,” he said.

He noted the students had less
time this year to put their projects
together because of the teachers’
Strike.
