Rio Tinto Hands On Science Curriculum Grade 4
Intended Learning Outcomes for Fourth Grade Science
|
Description: It's off to the water races! Students conduct an experiment using soil permeability tubes. Students assemble their experiment into a mock science fair project. |
|
Description: Students explore density by comparing objects that have the same volume but different mass. |
|
STANDARD I: Students will understand that water changes state as it moves through the water cycle.
|
Description: Students observe evaporation, condensation, and precipitation in the lab. |
|
STANDARD II: Students will understand that the elements of weather can be observed, measured, and recorded to make predictions and determine simple weather patterns.
|
Description: Air has mass and pressure that students will explore through 7 different experiments. |
|
STANDARD III: Students will understand the basic properties of rocks, the processes involved in the formation of soils, and the needs of plants provided by soil.
|
Description: Students will solve a mineral mystery and correctly classify 9 minerals. Twelve common rocks found in Utah will also be identified and explored. |
|
Description: It's time to get dirty! Students study what is found in soil, its layers, and primary components. |

STANDARD IV: Students will understand how fossils are formed, where they may be found in Utah, and how they can be used to make inferences.
|
Description: Student paleontologists observe specimens from the Natural History Museum and the Utah Geological Survey and decide whether or not they are fossils. |
|
STANDARD V: Students will understand the physical characteristics of Utah's wetlands, forests, and deserts and identify common organisms for each environment.
|
CLASSIFICATION - DICHOTOMOUS KEYS Description: Classification of Utah amphibians, seeds, and leaves is explored through dichotomous keys. |
Classification - Dichotomous Keys Unit
|
Description: Students will explore Utah plants and the four biomes found in Utah by using Utah plant specimens from the Natural History Museum of Utah. |
