LA HABRA : 2 Seniors to Present Research to Academy
La Habra High School seniors Meghan Rollins and Melinda Klein, who have been chosen as delegates to the American Junior Academy of Science, will present their research papers on ecology at the academy’s national meeting in February.
Rollins’ research paper investigates the diets of two types of terns at the Bolsa Chica Ecological Reserve in Huntington Beach. It describes the types of fish birds eat and whether their diets are nutritious.
Klein’s paper focuses on the habits and diets of sea snails.
The students developed their research papers through membership in the Southern California Junior Academy of Science. They will be among 18 students throughout the region to present their findings at the national meeting in Atlanta.
