6th Grade Experiments
Something sixth graders look forward to from the start of their middle school journey is when their sciences classes visit the lower school to participate in experiments with the fifth graders.
Hypotheses tested include, "How does encouragement/discouragement affect accuracy? How well can you avoid obstacles while being blindfolded? How well does vision affect your accuracy while throwing?" Sixth graders conduct the experiments and examine the data to determine their results!
