As a culmination of their science learning in sixth grade, students had to pick a topic to explore and explore it using all of the science and engineering practices they learned about this year. Each student came up with a testable question, performed background research in order to develop a logical hypothesis and went about developing a procedure to conduct a fair test. Their results and conclusions finalized their individual project. Along the way they practiced perseverance, problem-solving, and critical thinking. We are super proud of every student's accomplishment!
