In fourth grade Science we will be focusing on Life Science, Earth Science and Physical Science. Students will become active learners as they learn to explore, explain and extend the concepts that are taught. Students will be engaged by text learning, cooperative learning, experimentation and reflection. This multi-methodical approach to learning fosters all learning styles and creates a fun and engaging curriculum.
