4th Grade General and Integrated Science Class (Ages 8-10) Semester 2

In the Semester 2 of this General/Integrated science class (there is a semester 1 as well but does not have to be taken first), learners will be studying organ systems, living things, earth processes, our solar system, and physical science. This 15-week class, which covers one semester, will meet once a week and students will also be expected to complete homework/labs at home. This is appropriate for 4th grade students or those who are 8-10 years of age. Get ready for fun activities and experiments!

Paper and pencil will need to be available for each class if the student would like. As an introduction to note-taking, there is also a Notes Sheet available for each class....easy to fill in notes that your student may use during and after class.  After the first week, each class will begin with any questions the students have about the homework or material covered the week before. Then the new material for that week will be presented; slides, videos, pictures, and actual demonstrations or labs will be used throughout the course. Messages in the classroom will be utilized if students have any questions on homework throughout the week.

Lots of opportunities for student discussion, some easy games played in class (matching, word scramble, students writing on board, uncovering pictures, guessing games, etc.), and experiments each week for students to do at home. 

Some homework assigned will be worksheets and others will be at-home experiments using household items. Please view the supply list for supplies. I will make sure to keep parents updated via classroom posts on what will be needed for the upcoming week. Homework assignments will be graded if turned in but grades are used at the parent's discretion.
 
Please see the Syllabus for a look at what we will be discussing week-by-week.  

Please note, fewer numbers of students may result in a shortened class time. 

There will be no refunds issued for a student(s) missing class.
