Welcome to Room 112.
Dear Parents,
I am excited to have your 4th graders this year at South Loop Elementary. In addition to being their homeroom teacher, I will also be their science teacher.
This year we have several important science concepts to explore and understand. I hope we will have a lot of fun while we do so. We will follow the Next Generation Science Standards. For Fourth Grade, this means we will explore:
-Life Science: structures of plant and animal life; adaptations; how stimuli affects behavior
-Earth Science: the water cycle; the rock cycle; tectonic activity; fossils; human impact on earth
-Physical Science: energy and energy conversions; waves
-Using the scientific method and engineering design skills to solve problems through labs and other hands-on activities.
We will also focus on developing expository writing skills by researching and writing about various science topics.
