Eighth-graders in Shannon Kelly's science research class from Howard T.
Herber Middle School recently participated in the Long Island Science
and Engineering Fair's Broadcom Masters Middle School Competition. The
competition was the culmination of their work, which began in the fall
with students developing projects that followed the precepts of
scientific and engineering design. We are proud to announce that two
groups of students were honored at the event: Adam Akaeze, Nelson
Crawford and Niles Wilson received Honorable Mention for their project
investigating the impact of fertilizers on plant growth; and Sabrina
Ramharakh, Jamila Smith and Farvens Ulysse were awarded First Place for
their investigation into the relative absorbency of different paper
towels. This is the first time Malverne students have received
first-place recognition at LISEF. Congratulations to all of the students
who competed!
