6th Grade Science Summertime Fun! 

Summer is a great time to apply what you have learned.  The following are suggestions to complete over the summer to keep our skills fresh. 

Science: Pick 2 or more to do over the summer. 

• Science is everywhere, create a science journal recording all the interesting things you discovered over the summer.  This can be written in a book, a slide show, or a short video. Make sure you look up and notice your surroundings.  

• Real life souvenirs, going on a vacation this summer, finding a cool shell, or rock, a shark tooth or something amazing? Either bring it back if you can, or take a photo and leave it behind. When you come back to school you can tell us all about it. 

• Do you like rides? Going on any amusement rides this summer? Research your favorite ride and tell us what you like about it, what was the coolest thing you found out about it.  If you could create a ride, what would you create? Write a short paragraph, including a photo. 

• Fireflies or lightning bugs? What do you call the cool insects that light up at night? Take notice of when you start to see them, how many do you see? They don’t bite, if one lands on you, take notice of its cool features. Write a short paragraph. 

• Summer fruit and veggies. Summer is a prime time for eating delicious local in season fruits and veggies.  Try a new flavor this summer. Did you grow it, pick it or buy it? What was your favorite summer flavor? Write a short paragraph, including a photo. 

• All about water - what is your preference for where you like to cool off. Do you prefer the ocean, which beach location is your favorite and why? Do you prefer the pool, which one and what do you enjoy about it? What about the lake, what activities? How about a sprinkler, our water balloons? Write a short paragraph, including a photo. 

I hope you have a wonderful summer. Have fun, be safe and enjoy being a kid.
