Go On A Cybermission

Have your Grades 6-9 students stretch their learning in science and mathematics while competing for US Savings Bonds. Teams of students work together on an eCybermission to help their communities. The competition, sponsored by the US Army, begins 08/01/09. Curriculum fact sheets and posters are available along with descriptions of winning projects from 2008. Some past projects that earned thousands of dollars for each student on a team included studying the effects of flip-flops on feet, studying the ways to prevent accidents, increasing awareness of hazardous mercury through a recycling program, and investigations of bacteria on weightlifting equipment.
