Environmental Issues Projects
Sixth grade students are required to do an Environmental Issues Project for their Science Fair project.  We start these projects at the beginning of the school year and usually work on them for the first few months of the school year.  These projects are designed to make students aware of the environment and how their actions effect the environment.
