The Amity Science Bowl team qualified for nationals on March 13 by winning the statewide competition. The team was made up of five seniors: Peter Scully, co-captain; Arnav Paliwal co-captain; Eugene Chang; Andy Kim and Adarsh Kongani. The Science Bowl is a Jeopardy-style team competition run by the US Department of Energy since 1991. Questions test students’ knowledge of the STEM fields (biology, physics, chemistry, earth science, astronomy and math) in a fast-paced format. Amity’s Science Bowl team is a relatively new club at Amity founded by Scully and Paliwal and at the end of their freshman year. Students interested in joining can email either paliwalar21@amityschools.org or scullype21@amityschools.org. The Amity Science Bowl adviser and coach is science teacher Deborah Best.
