6th Grade Academy Science Project Options
All 6th grade academy students and 7 grade Academy Students are required to complete a science project. The project options emphasize creative problem solving, research, and innovation. Every student will be expected to select from and work within the parameters of one of the projects described below. Work is ongoing and will culminate with a written project and presentation. Projects are due the last week of January 2016.
Every student will keep a science project journal, describing the many problems and solutions that are expected to be resolved during the course of their respective projects. eCybermission is a group project. Specific details on project guidelines and expectations can be found on the competition’s website. Further information will also be distributed in class after students have chosen their project options.

This is a Southern Nevada competition and is geared toward implementation of the scientific process. Students will be investigating a selected science topic in detail. They may choose between the following disciplines: inventions, life science or physical science. Emphasis will be on a creative project. Please note that models are NOT allowed. For this project an experiment must be conducted. Students may work independently according to the guidelines provided or may work in a team of no more than 3 students.

Individual time and commitment of the student can be extensive. Students will need to gather major research and maintain a science logbook.
Teams must have parents willing to let their children meet with their group members outside of school if necessary.
Please return this portion to your science teacher
We have reviewed and discussed the science projects described above. We understand that placement in the team project is not guaranteed, but depend on coach involvement and student’s commitment to teamwork. Students understand that due to national competition constraints the final project is due the final week of January 2016. Early submissions are welcome.
