On March 17 and 18th, the Gelinas Junior High School Library was transformed into a showcase for scientific research at the school’s annual Science Awareness Day. The science fair provided students a non-competitive environment in which to display their work. Topics spanned the scientific disciplines. Many of the students who participated in the event are enrolled in the school’s science research classes, a unique program to be offered at the junior high/middle school level. Over 220 students from Gelinas participated, and some will also present their work at the regional Long Island Science Congress next month. Students from Ward Melville High School’s InStar® research program and Stony Brook University’s Science Education program served as evaluators for the projects.
