Original science projects created by students at Frank J. Carasiti Elementary School and Joseph A. Edgar Intermediate School were on display during the schools’ annual science fair.
Leading up to the event, the students selected a topic of interest and followed the scientific method to solve a proposed problem or question. Topics addressed concepts found in a range of sciences, including physics, chemistry and earth science.
All participants were honored at commemorative ceremonies, and several received placement awards. Those with first-place honors will now have their projects judged at the annual Brookhaven National Lab Science Fair, which draws submissions from throughout Suffolk County.
