What's Happening in Fourth Grade 

Exploring Energy

This month, the fourth-grade girls continued their study of energy. They researched various types of energy, including chemical, mechanical, electrical, light, thermal, and sound energy. The girls defined each type, providing both examples and non-examples for clarity. They participated in energy stations that encouraged hands-on exploration and teamwork, enhancing their understanding.

Scientific Diagrams

Welcome to 4th-grade science! This month, the students started by completing a "Science About Me" notebook entry. They researched the phase of the moon that occurred on the day they were born, measured their heights in centimeters, recorded their favorite science topics, and illustrated their preferred uses of electricity, among other activities. 

Additionally, the girls selected a scientific object to explore and document. After examining their object, they created a detailed diagram following the ABCD guidelines (Accurate, Big, Colorful, Detailed). The young scientists took notes on their observations and labeled their scientific drawings. They documented their findings as scientists using the ABCD method. Great job, 4th grade!
