Advisor: Mr. Parise
Pensylvania Junior Academy of Science is a competition where students follow the scientific method to select a project, research the background, formulate a hypothesis, develop an experiment, collect and analyze data, and form a conclusion.
The students present an oral presentation using power point to a group of judges at a regional meeting in March. The project is judged against set criteria. Students receive either a first, second or third place award. Those that receive a first place then go on to the state competition at Penn State University in May.
