The Pennsylvania Junior Academy of Science is a state-wide organization which encourages scientific research for students in grades 7 through 12. The students choose a topic of interest in any field of science and then design a scientific experiment to support or refute their hypothesis. The students must follow strict guidelines utilizing the scientific method. The design and experiment is conducted over a period of months often beginning in the summer and extending into the fall semester of the school year. Students must prepare an oral report of their findings and do a presentation before a panel of judges from the scientific community. Students involved in PJAS participate in a regional competition at Slippery Rock University in the spring. Any student who wins a first place award at the regional competition then has the opportunity to advance to the State Competition which is held at Penn State University at State College, PA. There Are approximately 500 students at the regional competitions and then approximately 3000 students state-wide who advance to the State Competition at Penn State. Quigley has participated in PJAS for over 20 years. Students interested in being involved in PJAS should contact Mrs. Bonislawsky as soon as possible at the beginning of the school year. |
