The Freeport School District Board of Education and Superintendent of Schools Dr. Kishore Kuncham are proud to announce another outstanding achievement for the district's Advanced Science Research Program under the leadership of Vincent Pereira, the district's coordinator of science.
A research paper, developed entirely at Freeport High School, titled "Identification and Calculation of the Three-Dimensional Orbit of an Asteroid" and written by Vincent Pereira and Class of 2012 science research students Justin Millan and Emerick Martin, will appear in the May 2013 issue of The Physics Teacher. Established in 1963, this peer-reviewed journal, published by the American Association of Physics Teachers, publishes, among other topics, papers on the history and philosophy of physics, physics research and applied physics.
Justin Millan, a freshman at Nassau Community College, and Emerick Martin, a freshman at Seton Hall University, were semifinalists at the 2012 Siemens Competition in Math, Science and Technology based on the work reported in this published paper.
