In the past, I have done 4-H Science Enrichment programs for 4th and 5th grades. With the 2018 Crosswalk Standards, many of the activities that I had used for 4th grade now meet 3rd grade standards. I have included those activities here for your use. If you would like additional science resources, please contact me at jebowen1@vt.edu.
