Year 6 Environmental Science Projects

In this fun experiment, we'll find out how colour affects heat absorption!

Kids will learn about insulation, heat conduction, and the economic benefits of energy efficient windows in this cool science fair project.

Science fair project that examines albedo, and how this information is applied in the design of cars, sportswear, and other items. Which colors reflect light?

Science fair project that examines condensation and the conditions needed in order for dew to form.

The goal of this evaporation experiment is to learn about how different external conditions affect drying time.

Science fair project that examines how temperature affects density and how density in turn affects the behaviour of helium gas.

Science fair project that examines what causes thunder and why a thunderclap sounds so loud. How is lightening related to the creation of sound waves?

Science fair project that examines the different types of precipitation, evaluates the density of snow and calculates the ratio of snow-to-liquid.

Science fair project that examines how winter storms form and the relationship between temperature, moisture and snow.

In this science fair project, you'll make a "ghost" appear in a test tube, and learn about what happens when hot water and cold water interact.

Kids learn about examples of mechanical weathering and conduct an experiment with seeds and plaster in this cool geology science fair project idea.

What is the hydrologic cycle and how does it work? Check out this fun and easy science project where you will model and learn about Earth's water cycle!

This fun science fair project idea helps students learn how acid rains are formed and explore how acid rain damages the environment.

The objective of this science fair project is to set up a compost bin to convert food scraps and organic waste.

Brine shrimp usually live in saltwater. Investigate how salt concentration (salinity) affects the rate at which brine shrimp eggs hatch.

In this science fair project, we learn how air molecules move as a result of density, convection, and air currents.

In this science experiment, observe convection currents forming and learn about how heat energy moves in liquids from hot to cooler areas through convection.

This science fair project focuses on a polymer called hydrogel super absorbent crystal which absorbs water, swelling to many times its original size.

Learn how to make a hygrometer to measure relative humidity in this project. Make a sling psychrometer hygrometer with gauze, thermometers, and a bottle.

Science fair project examining barometric pressure, and how it can be used to predict the weather. How does atmospheric pressures relate to weather conditions?
