Seaford Middle Schoolers Win Science Fair Competition
Their project, "The Effect of Climate Change on Sea Life," impressed the judges.
Press Release From Seaford Middle School: Seaford Middle School seventh graders Nadia Matos and Rachel Schnaier won first place in the 22nd annual Science Fair Competition, hosted by the Nassau Community College Honors Program, on March 7. They were recognized for their project, “The Effect of Climate Change on Sea Life.”
Nadia and Rachel qualified them for the regional competition based on their performance at the Seaford Middle School science fair in February. For their project, they studied the effect of chemicals in water bodies by putting seashells into both water and vinegar. They noticed that the vinegar caused some of the shells to disintegrate.
Seaford eighth graders Justin Cettina and Ryan D’Orio also attended the Nassau Community College Science Fair Competition, presenting their project, “What’s In Your Water?” They analyzed water from several different sources including their home faucets, the middle school water fountain, rain, a local pond, filtered water and bottled water.
