Good Health and Well-Being, Sixth Grade Science Projects (96 results)

The United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UNSDGs) are a blueprint to achieve a better and more sustainable future for all.
These projects explore topics key to Good Health and Well-Being: Ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all at all ages.

Science Buddies' sixth grade science projects are the perfect way for sixth grade students to have fun exploring science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM). Our sixth grade projects are written and tested by scientists and are specifically created for use by students in the sixth grade. Students can choose to follow the science experiment as written or put their own spin on the project.

For a personalized list of science projects, sixth graders can use the Science Buddies Topic Selection Wizard. The wizard asks students to respond to a series of simple statements and then uses their answers to recommend age-appropriate projects that fit their interests.

Tracking SARS-CoV-2 Spread from Wastewater
Science Fair Project Idea
Scientific Method
Have you ever wanted to know where hot spots of infection are or see how viruses spread? Are you interested in seeing how this changes over time? Check out our new science project that uses data visualization tools and tested wastewater data to track the virus that causes COVID-19 over time. Read more
Build a Robotic Arm
Science Fair Project Idea
Engineering Design Process
Robotic arms have many uses, ranging from assembling things in factories to collecting soil samples on Mars to acting as prosthetics (artificial limbs) for humans. If you have ever wanted to build your own robotic arm, this project will guide you through the basics of designing and building a simple one. You can use this design as a starting point to design your own robotic arm and add your own features. Read more
Make a Color Detector App to Help Colorblind People
Science Fair Project Idea
Engineering Design Process
Do you know anyone who is colorblind, or are you colorblind yourself? What if you could carry a device in your pocket that could identify colors for you? Many people already carry around the device they need to do this - a smartphone! Since phones have built-in cameras, you can make an app that uses the camera to identify colors. In this project you will use a program called MIT App Inventor that makes it easy for anyone, even with no programming experience, to design your own mobile app.  Read more
When Your Sniffer Snoozes, You've Got Olfactory Fatigue
Science Fair Project Idea
Scientific Method
The holidays are a wonderful time, when lots of good foods and good smells come from the kitchen. But have you noticed that if you stay in the kitchen awhile, you no longer notice the delicious smells? Don't worry! Your nose is not broken, you are just experiencing olfactory fatigue—basically, that's when your nose takes a nap. But what is behind olfactory fatigue and what happens when you experience it? Does a person's sense of smell "get tired" in the same way for different smells? Put… Read more
Motor Imagery Visualization's Impact on Fine Motor Skills for Space Flight
Science Fair Project Idea
Scientific Method
In this science experiment, you will model and test how visualization of a task can change the accuracy of your fine motor skill performance. You will use the small muscles in your hands to model how your body would perform on Earth versus a space launch. Read more
Fighting the Flu: How Your Immune System Uses Its Memory
Science Fair Project Idea
Scientific Method
Being sick is no fun, especially when your friends are doing exciting activities that you have to miss out on. Thankfully, common illnesses usually last for just a few days, and then you start to feel better. Why is this? It is thanks to the immune system, which is a group of special organs and cells in your body that constantly work to keep you healthy. In this science project, you will make a simple model to investigate how the immune system defends the human body from common illnesses, and… Read more
Astronaut Stress Management Training for Space Flight
Science Fair Project Idea
Scientific Method
Training for space flight isn't just a physically demanding job. You need to be prepared mentally and emotionally, too! In this science project, you will test how a breathing technique can improve your fight-or-flight response induced by the stressors of space flight. Read more
Blood Clotting to the Rescue: How to Stop Too Much Blood from Flowing
Science Fair Project Idea
Scientific Method
Have you ever had a cut or a bloody nose that seemed like it would bleed forever? Though it might have seemed like a long time, it probably did stop pretty quickly. This is because different factors in a person's blood normally work together to plug the opening caused by the cut in a process called blood clotting or coagulation. However, some people have a genetic disorder called hemophilia that causes them to bleed excessively. If a person has hemophilia, he or she is usually missing some of… Read more
Create and Test Your Own Hydrogel Face Mask Recipe!
Science Fair Project Idea
Engineering Design Process
Have you ever tried a beauty face mask? Cosmetic face masks are skin care products that promise rapid hydration of your skin to make it look younger and more radiant. Hydrogel face masks are made of jelly-like materials that are infused with special ingredients to nurture your skin. The ingredients for cosmetic products like face masks are carefully selected by cosmetics chemists. Each product is designed to have the properties that are necessary for its intended purpose. In this science… Read more
Bioprinting: 3D Print with Living Cells! No 3D Printer Required.
Science Fair Project Idea
Scientific Method
Do you get excited about 3D printing technology? Do you like to think about other applications for this technology? 3D printing techniques can also be used with living cells, a method called 3D bioprinting. In this science project, you will explore 3D bioprinting a gelatinous substance with plant seeds. This process is similar to real 3D bioprinting techniques being explored to create tissues and organs. Read more
