A neutrino is a neutral subatomic particle with zero mass. It is extremely hard to detect, and passes through hundreds of meters of material. You should be able to look up "neutrino detector" on the Internet to find out more.

See the second reference for a nice, elementary tour. Start at the first reference for the science details. 6th grade is definitely not too early to start learning about particles!

neutrinos are subatomic particles; I explain in the following
all matter is made of atoms
all atoms are made of three main particles, namely, protons, electrons and neutrons
as well as these particles that constitute the atom, newly discovered "not exactly new but relatively speaking and comparing it with the discovery of neutrons ...etc" smaller in size are subatomic particles amongst which are neutrinos.
other similarly sized ones are positrons and negatons

Pauli's little cute particle he introduced to save the law of conservation of energy. It was experimentally discovered later
