6th grade Science

 
 
This year's focus is on Physical Science, although we will also discuss the other science strands as time permits.  

We are beginning preparation for Science Fair and the accompanying projects. All students are expected to prepare a project, complete with board.   Although I will not require them to enter, I would encourage each and every one of them to do so after all the work is completed. 

I will  be giving children several sessions of class time, as well as walking them through the steps. Multiple grades will be given for this project, so it is EXTREMELY important that they complete each phase. Handouts will be going out toward the end of this week.
