British Columbia Grade 4 science curriculum

Outcome Matter has mass, takes up space and can change phase: phases of matter and the effect of temperature on particle movement.

Lessons: Winter Science at Home (Can you make frost in a can?, Why does salt melt ice?, What's inside a snowflake?)

Practice: Winter Science at Home workbook · Earth and Sky at Home workbook · Kitchen Chemistry for Families workbook · Solids, Liquids and Gases workbook · Living with Water: Salt, Rice and the Mekong workbook

Outcome All living things sense and respond to their environment: sensing and responding in humans, other animals and plants.

Lessons: Your Senses: How Does Your Body Know?

Practice: Your Senses: How Does Your Body Know? workbook

Outcome Reflect on whether an investigation was a fair test, and demonstrate an understanding and appreciation of evidence.

Lessons: Evidence Lab (How do you know a fact is true?, Why do scientists repeat their tests?)

Practice: Evidence Lab workbook · Build It, Launch It workbook · How Your Body Works workbook · Keep It Cool: Ice, Insulation and Staying Comfortable workbook · Winter Science: Ice, Snow and Staying Warm workbook · Think Like a Scientist: The Scientific Method workbook · Test the Claim: Science Facts, Myths and AI Answers workbook · Steppe Science: Staying Warm on the Kazakh Steppe workbook · Monsoon Science: Rain, Sun and the Nón Lá workbook

Outcome Phases of matter and the effect of temperature on particle movement (ice melting).

Lessons: Winter Science: Ice, Snow and Staying Warm

Practice: Earth and Sky at Home workbook · Kitchen Chemistry for Families workbook · Winter Science at Home workbook · Solids, Liquids and Gases workbook · Living with Water: Salt, Rice and the Mekong workbook

Outcome Phases of matter and the effect of temperature on particle movement (evaporation, freezing).

Lessons: Solids, Liquids and Gases (Where does a puddle go?, Why does ice float?)

Practice: Solids, Liquids and Gases workbook · Earth and Sky at Home workbook · Kitchen Chemistry for Families workbook · Winter Science at Home workbook · Living with Water: Salt, Rice and the Mekong workbook

Outcome The effect of temperature on particle movement (balloon and food-colouring lessons; a Grade 4 topic).

Lessons: Hot and Cold: Particles on the Move

Practice: Hot and Cold: Particles on the Move workbook

Outcome Questioning and predicting, planning and conducting, and evaluating: make fair measurements, compare results and decide how far the evidence supports a claim.

Lessons: Evidence Lab (How do you know a fact is true?, Why do scientists repeat their tests?)

Outcome All living things sense and respond to their environment.
