1 hour per week. The students will have homework after each class. They will be asked recall and open-ended questions where they will have to apply what they learned to correctly answer the question. I ask that the students review what was what they learned every day. Optional: I ask that the students dedicate 10-15 minutes of study time each day.Assessment
The students will be assessed as they engage in discussions and as they interact in a question-answer session at the end of class. The students will periodically be given quizzes and/or formative assessments. This will guide my instruction. I will review what the students need.Class Experience
US Grade 4
[2nd of four 9-week sessions] This course takes a modified, Engineering approach to 4th Grade Science. It offers content that is typically taught during the second 9-weeks in a traditional 4th grade science class. The students will take an in-depth look at Energy and Speed from an Engineering perspective. The following topics will be discussed: Week 1 - Energy Week 2 - Energy Transfer Week 3 - Energy & Speed Week 4 - Electric currents Week 5 - Engineering Project Week 6 - Heat, and Sound & Light Reflection Week 7 - Energy & Collisions Week 8 - Energy & Collisions Lab Week 9 - Natural resources & the Environment The students will learn that that energy can be transferred between objects in a variety of ways. The students will learn how the speed of an object is related to the energy of that object. The students will learn that energy can be transferred from place to place by sound, light, heat, and electric currents or from object to object through collisions. Different modes of instruction will be used. The students will be taught using pictures, video clips, slides, discussions, lecture, independent reading, and open-ended questions. Students will learn about Natural resources & the Environment. This section will be taught using pictures, video clips, slides, discussions, lecture, independent reading, and open-ended questions. The students will learn how the various types of natural resources can benefit the environment. They will design a new way that natural resources can benefit the environment. This will be taught using pictures, video clips, slides, discussions, lecture, independent reading, and open-ended questions. The students require the 3rd grade science course. The third 9-weeks course will pick up where this course leaves off.
Learning Goals
Students will improve their understanding of the world around them. They will improve their understanding energy and how energy is transferred. Engaged students will improve their ability to respond to state assessment questions on 4th grade science content.
