4th Grade Science Part 2: Self-Paced

This course will cover the 4th Grade NGSS  Science Standards in a hands-on and engaging way! Seed and Stem Learning Center believes that students learn science best through exploration, group work, and hands-on activities. Real-world problems, situations, and problem-based learning will drive student inquiry throughout this course.

Students will be given lessons that involve instruction, demonstrations, and experiments. Students will also receive a homework packet every week. This packet will have multiple activities and assignments to choose from including reading comprehension passages, videos, and corresponding questions, at-home labs and experiments, and traditional worksheets. Students can complete one option a week or choose to complete additional assignments. Students will have multiple performance assessments throughout the course in order to assess their understanding in addition to problem-based learning projects and experiments.

Due to the fact that this is a self-paced course, students who are already taking 4th grade Science can enroll for additional support and practice. Homeschooled students can enroll for a complete 4th grade Science curriculum. Videos will be uploaded with each lesson along with practice assignments, homework, and additional resources. Students will use the Outschool classroom to access all materials and homework.

The suggested weekly schedule will include the following:
Monday: Lesson with instruction of the concept. Students will be given an assignment to complete by the end of the week.
Tuesday-Thursday: Students will work on their assignments on their own. They can message their teacher for additional assistance during this time.
Friday: Students will turn in their assignment to be graded by the teacher. The teacher will respond with feedback on their assignment within five days.
