YCQ Student Wins First Place in Science Fair

Yitzy Socol from class 6B2 won first place in the YCQ science fair! He then continued to the
Inter-yeshiva science fair held at the Hebrew Academy of Long Beach where he also won
first place. The winning topic "The Five Second Rule, Is It A Dirty Little Lie?" Everyone who
saw his project commented that they will think about Yitzy’s project and the facts they learned
regarding to the five second rule every time they are tempted to eat food that was dropped on
the floor. The end result according to Yitzy’s findings is that it is usually ok to eat.

Have a Great Summer!!!!
