Are any of the things mentioned above good for what would be the 6th grade curriculum in the school?
DS10 will be skipping into 7th grade for next year, and science is the one thing that he had on the 5th grade level last year -- not due to aptitude, but due to scheduling difficulties -- and so missed 6th grade science. They gave him the books to read over the summer, but the one thing that the science teachers were concerned with was that he needs to catch up on the experiment stuff. 6th is where they start doing science fair projects. He did a fair amount of hypothesis/test/writeup stuff in 5th, but apparently there is more in 6th and on a more professional level with the science fair. I never did science fair, as they didn't have that when I was there. Is there anything that would be useful for me to know, or that would make it easier to cram that into him over the summer?
