4th Grade Science with Mrs. Fields
Note from Mrs. Fields: I'm so sorry for all the confusion on assignments for this week. There was no OLS lesson or TGA for last week. This week there are 2 OLS lessons (listed below) but again no TGA. Thank you all for working so hard on all of your assignments!
Looking Back -
We spent this last week before our break reviewing the unit on energy to help students complete the assessment in USA Test Prep. We looked at some example questions that cover the topics that we have studied and that will become a key part of science knowledge for 5th grade.I know it's been a long time since we've met, but I know it will all come back to you when we have our assessment :-)
Looking Ahead –
We will spend this next week with an exploration of force and motion that will be our first look at physics in preparation for next year's in-depth study of those topics.I hope you were able to read through the textbook pages (F6-F9) in preparation for our lesson this Friday.
Don’t forget the opportunities for extra credit in USA Test Prep
There is an extra credit assignment available in USA Test Prep – 4th Extra Credit #1. Read the article (paste it in your browser) and answer some questions using your own ideas about the topic.Continue to devote one hour (or two 30 minute sessions) to Stride Science lessons each week.
