What will we be learning about in Science this year?
Science in fourth grade is FUN! We will be studying four big units: 1. Weather and Climate 2. Animals and Living Things 3. Solar System 4. Energy (light, sound, and heat).
Do we do experiments and investigations?
Yes, we do! Some units are much easier to do investigations, but we try to include hands-on activities weekly. We also try to do 1-2 cool science activities each month that help us practice the scientific method using inquiry.
- The scientific method is a way to ask and answer scientific questions by making observations and doing experiments.
- The steps of the scientific method are to:
- Ask a Question
- Do Background Research
- Construct a Hypothesis
- Test Your Hypothesis by Doing an Experiment
- Analyze Your Data and Draw a Conclusion
- Communicate Your Results
