what is a good science project for a 6th grader?

maybe like salt crystals diluted in water and then when you paint on paper with that water and let the water evaporate, the salt crystals are left behind on water. you can see it. just an idea? \nlike when water evaporates, all teh minerals in water are  left behind. so when you boil water and hold the lid above the steam, the droplets that form on the lid is pure H2O, because all teh minerals are left behind in the pot.

magnetic accelerators are cool projects\neasy to make!\nway cool stuff for the engineer waiting in you!\ndo a yahoo search for GUASS RIFLE.\nclick the first hit!\nMy Daughter and i made one that was 37 feet long and snapped a wood plank in two!\nhave fun and keep excelling in science and math!

Here is a site that has alot of science experiments that work well with the elementary age group.\n\nhttp://pbskids.org/zoom/activities/sci/

The following link has some good ideas for different projects. \nhttp://www.all-science-fair-projects.com/category0.html\n\nAlso, the following link might help you set up a science fair display board if you have to have one.\nhttp://www.sciencebuddies.org/mentoring/...\n\nA good elementary science fair project is testing the density of various liquids.  All you need is a tall clear glass or vase and various liquids such as... dishwashing detergent, mineral oil, corn syrup, olive oil, water (dyed blue), molasses, or corn oil.  Use at least five different liquids (of different colors... makes the project more attractive) and slowly pour them into the container.  Also, perform the experiment more than once adding the liquids in different orders and note your results.  This project is easy, but it is also very educational and helps to teach the basic concept of density.

I did something like that for a science project too. Only mine was a cake with decorations that made it look like a cell... ^_~\nWe also have an actual model of animal and plant cells in my class, but those were mail-ordered. For a really realistic one, you're gonna need some special parts.\nYou can do it more easily with a styrofoam ball of a reasonable size (or a styrofoam cube if you're doing a plant cell), another smaller ball (for the nucleus), I'm not sure what you could use for mitochondria.... Hit a craft store and get creative. There's plenty of stuff out there just waiting for you to find it. Pom-poms could be used for the vacuoles I guess, and you could coat the larger ball with playdoh for the membrane. I'm sure you'll think of something. Remember this when you're working: hot glue guns are your friends.\nJust remember to include all the components:\nNucleus, cytoplasm, vacuoles, mitochondria, cell membrane, endoplasmic reticulum, and the two extra plant parts: chloroplasts and that extra thick wall whose name in English I cannot recall... xD\nIf I can make a sponge cake into an animal cell with some Fuzzy Peaches, Rockets, jelly beans and chocolate sprinkles, I'm sure you can make a styrofoam ball into something just as good or better. Best of luck!

i'M IN SIXTH GRADE, AND A GOOD SCIENCE FAIR TOPIC WOULD BE "WHICH SUBSTANCE CONDUCTS ELECTRICITY BEST". iT IS REALLY EASY TO DO AND YOU CAN HAVE LOTS OF GRAPHS. FOR EXAMPLE I HAVE 21 GRAPHS. AND MY WHOLE ENTIRE BOOK IS 93 PAGES LONG. \n\nHOPE i HELP YA!!

its best if the child find something interesting to them. go to the library and ask the librarian for info on science fair experiments.\n\ngo to the science teacher for periodical, then pick an experiment.

Do not go for the normal, typical projects that wind up at every science fair--the volcano, the planet mobile, etc.  Just do a project on something you are truly interested in.  Anything can be a science fair project:\n\nDoes expensive lipstick last longer than cheap lipstick?\nDo vegetables last longer on the counter or refrigerated?\nWhich hamburger molds first: McDonald's, Burger King's, or Hardee's?\nDo food packages really contain the amount (weight) of food they list on their packaging?\nCan people tell the difference between namebrand vs. generic shampoo, soda, candy, etc?

whatever you are interested in. For example, earth, or electronics. you could get one of those science project books...the ones where they guarentee you to win.

The best project will be one that has some interest to the 5th grader. So my granddaughter likes animals. But my youngest boy likes photography. So a pinhole camera would bore my granddaughter but would have caught the interest of my son.\n\nThat being said... Here's an easy one. Go to a store and find some cheap analog clocks (clocks with hands) that run on a single AA battery. Then go to Radio Shack and get some battery holders and some "aligator clip leads" -- short wires with clips on either side. And get a bunch of different brand batteries of different sizes (if you are trying to get by simply, use only AA batteries and then you just need the clocks and the batteries).\n\nTake off the battery covers and hook up the battery holders to the clocks with the clipleads (unless you are only using AA batteries). Then put batteries in and see how long it takes for the clocks to run down. This may take a long time. If you are short on time, try this. Get a flashlight bulb at radio shack and put it across the battery with the clock. So this way the battery is running the clock and the flashlight bulb at the same time. Note the time on the the clock and check it every day to see when the clock stops. You can graph the results easily.\n\nQuestions:\nWhat lasts longer, a AA, a C, or a D battery?\nWhat brand of battery lasts longer?\nWhat lasts longer, a standard carbon-zinc battery or an alkaline battery? What is the cost difference per unit? Per run time?\n\nA little research on the internet about how batteries are built, and the different technologies (carbon-zinc, alkaline, nicad, NiMh, lithium, lead-acid) and you have a great project.
