This resource is a collection of activities to create learning experiences in Earth and Space Science for 4th Grade. These activities have been designed to meet the Academic Standards and Curriculum Guidelines for Teachers. The activities can be used by classroom teachers, homeschooling parents, or other educators interested in developing effective learning activities.

This Bundle of Earth and Space Science includes a wide variety of options to engage your students throughout the course of the year. Resources include multiple choice, labeling, matching, drawing, and more. These activities may be used individually or in groups, allowing for differentiation by skill level and possible response formats.

Get your Earth and Space Science Bundle activities, which include engaging activities and answer keys for each activity. See how well students perform or give teachers the opportunity to evaluate their answers or group projects’ work.

All Science Activities include an answer key that is available as PDF and Google Slides. The answer key is a valuable resource to use in the classroom, or at home, as they help students learn how to explain their answers, check if their explanations are correct, and improve their scientific knowledge and thinking skills.

The Activities featured in this resource are aligned with Next Generation Science Standards:

• SC.4.E.5.1 Observe that the patterns of stars in the sky stay the same although they appear to shift across the sky nightly, and different stars can be seen in different seasons.

• SC.4.E.5.2 Describe the changes in the observable shape of the moon over the course of about a month.

• SC.4.E.5.3 Recognize that Earth revolves around the Sun in a year and rotates on its axis in a 24-hour day.

• SC.4.E.5.4 Relate that the rotation of Earth (day and night) and apparent movements of the Sun, Moon, and stars are connected.

• SC.4.E.5.5 Investigate and report the effects of space research and exploration on the economy and culture of Florida.

• SC.4.E.6.2 Identify the physical properties of common earth-forming minerals, including hardness, color, luster, cleavage, and streak color, and recognize the role of minerals in the formation of rocks.

• SC.4.E.6.3 Recognize that humans need resources found on Earth and that these are either renewable or nonrenewable.

• SC.4.E.6.4 Describe the basic differences between physical weathering (breaking down of rock by wind, water, ice, temperature change, and plants) and erosion (movement of rock by gravity, wind, water, and ice).

• SC.4.E.6.5 Investigate how technology and tools help to extend the ability of humans to observe very small things and very large things.

• SC.4.E.6.6 Identify resources available in Florida (water, phosphate, oil, limestone, silicon, wind, and solar energy).
