Plan de estudios de ciencias de 4.º grado: Parte 3

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 have multiple opportunities to interact with other students and their instructors throughout this course in order to get the most out of their online experience. 

Students will meet for a live meeting once a week for instruction, demonstrations, group work, and experiments. The rest of the week will provide students the opportunity to complete projects, interact with other classmates through platforms such as Outschool discussions, and complete online simulations. Students will 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. 

The following topics will be covered during this course:
Unit 5: Human Body

Week 1: External Human Body Parts
Week 2: Human Body Systems
