Christ the King Students presented their yearlong science research at the Middle Village school’s Science Research Symposium on May 8. The advanced research class allows juniors and seniors to conduct individual research in areas of interest in conjunction with St. Joseph’s College. Their work is then presented at the NYC Science and Engineering Fair as well as the Intel Science Talent Search. Students are also eligible for college credits, college scholarships and advanced college placement through their research projects. The junior research projects were: ion degradation by Dominicl Makoki; gram negative bacteria by Monica Cantos; wind energy by Stephen Lebak; brain functions: short term memory and spatial reasoning between genders by Kevin Rodriguez and Kristin Tully; and the effects of caffeine on a daily basis by Sergio Velasquez.
