Levittown fifth-grade students Chris Crocitto and Izjwa Canlas presented their experiment on how a flashlight works during the Summit Lane Science Fair.

Levittown fifth-grade student scientists presented their experimental results and observations during the Summit Lane Science Fair. The fair encouraged students to apply curricular knowledge as they designed experiments on various topics of interest.

Under the direction of teachers Judith Ascher, Debbie Breen and Lynn Collins, the students tried their hands at safe and practical experiments at home and shared their results on a formal backboard. In accordance with the scientific method, participants identified a problem, formulated a hypothesis and developed a method to facilitate their experiment. After the experiments were conducted and results were analyzed, conclusions were made and presented to peers.
