Fourth Grade Earth Science Experiments

Lindsay, the learning content manager, provides an overview of the fourth grade earth science unit, which aligns with Next Generation Science Standards. The unit covers earth and space science, physical science, engineering, technology, and mathematics. Resources include experiment guides, troubleshooting tips, and community discussions. Experiments involve data collection and analysis using sensors and applications like Code App. Teachers are encouraged to engage with the material as students would, to better support their learning.
