The
6th grade provides a four week unit of study on the scientific method.
The 6th grade students each select a question which they investigate
and
came up with a hypothesis related to their question. Students design a
plan to test their hypothesis and conduct a scientific investigation.
Students
make data collection plans to measure and record results. Students
present
the results of their investigations at the annual DeGrazia Science Fair
held in the school cafeteria. Teachers, judges, and parents have been
very
impressed with the quality of the work of all of our students. The
winning
projects represent our school in the Annual Southern Arizona
Regional
Science Fair hosted by the University of Arizona. A number of projects
entered in the regional science fairs in past years have won awards
including
several first place winners. One project has been nominated for the
screening
round for the National Science Fair. Congratulations to both our local
science fair winners and the regional science fair winners.
