Students begin their projects in the spring of their junior year by writing a research proposal based on a specific question that they were interested in studying. In the fall semester, they complete the lab work and collect data. The final semester they focus on data analysis, writing a thesis, and preparing to communicate their results at PAS.

The Pennsylvania Academy of Science judges oral presentations and posters and provides a monetary award for the top three places and honorable mentions in each category. Oral presentations are assessed in categories for scientific merit (ranging from experimental methodologies to analysis of results) and presentation qualities, including visual impact and fielding of questions. The overall score is reflective of all subcategories.
