Science 4

Description:

In Science 4, students can expect to explore topics in Earth science, physical science, and life science. Students will experience hands-on-learning through labs, quests, and creative projects. The course focuses on critical thinking with guidance while applying concepts that students have learned into real world situations.

Special Notes:

This course includes hands-on labs and practical projects that require support from an adult. Most materials are household items or can be located locally. Please note that science labs require larger blocks of time to complete.

When only one semester is needed, it is strongly recommended that students take semester A of the elementary science course.

Students will need access to a printer and a scanner, scanner app or digital camera in order to submit work for the teacher to review.
