What animals would you like to see?


I had the privilege of joining the Ecology Club on their trip to the New England Aquarium and Whale-watching. After the long bus rides, drizzly weather, and fighting off sea-sickness, I was finally able to see an animal I've always wanted to see, a whale! If I could see 3 more animals, I would love to see a wolverine, a puffin, and a kangaroo.


If you had the chance to see any 3 animals in person, which animals would you like to see?

How about that Science Fair?

After weeks of designing, experimenting, revising, and preparing for the Science Fair, you're finally finished!!!

Reflect on your experience through the scientific method, then answer the following questions:

1. What was your favorite part of your Science Fair project? Why?
2. What was your favorite project made by another 6th grader? Why?
3. If you could give 1 piece of advice to next year's 6th graders about the Science Fair project, what would it be?
