This year our fourth graders will learn about fun, amazing science themes through the use of FOSS science kits. These kits provide hands-on, engaging lessons that encourage inquiry, observation, exploration and discovery. FOSS supports the National Science Education Standards and views "science as inquiry." We will have two units of study this year:
Earth and Sun
Energy Unit that includes Magnetism & Electricity
The link below allows you to click on the unit we are studying and discover some resources that go along nicely with our explorations:
Some years we go to The Franklin Institute that has exhibits that reinforce both of our Science units!
