| 4TH GRADE SCIENCE PROJECTS |
One of the things I love about the new Common Core is its emphasis on reading nonfiction! This is great for 4th graders who love science experiments. Reading about science experiments require 4th graders to use all of their key reading strategies and performing the experiment automatically checks their understanding. Not only that, there are a lot of great 4th grade reading and writing activities that can be connected to just about any science experiment.
Here is one great example of a science experiment with a common core reading activity.
Have the 4th grader print out this experiment! Perform it! Don't help them? Discuss what went wrong and what went right.
Next, read this article about Louis Pasteur and answers the questions. Try to make connections between the two readings.
