Welcome to our Science Page
Current Chapter Study Guide:
Semester 2: I am trying out a new platform for our weekly science posts. Launchpad offers a “discussion post” section. To access this, log onto Launchpad and click on the My Classes icon at the bottom of the page. Posts will still have to be approved, but it allows you to click a “submit” button. It works very similarly to Padlet, but less glichy!
Fourth graders will be very busy in science with our National Geographic series! Topics in Life Science, Physical Science, and Earth/Space Science will be covered. Some of the exciting topics are the life cycles, habitats, plants & animals, sound & light energy, land formations, rocks, and phases of the Moon. Tests Science tests will be announced a week in advance. Students should use their science trifold, IANs (interactive notebooks), textbooks, and provided study guide to help them prepare for their test. Students will be required to submit a Science Fair project in our school Science Fair. A detailed information packet will be sent home prior to this event. Not submitting a project will greatly affect a student’s science grade. |
