  11. Science • The focus of fourth grade revolves around the unifying concepts of interdependence and models. Each of the content units—ecosystems, weather, forces, stars and solar system, and sound and light—is designed to promote student understanding of content and to promote the development of process and inquiry skills.

  12. ECOLOGY • Identify roles of consumers, producers, and decomposers • Illustrate food chains and food webs • Identify ways adaptation can help organisms survive • Predict how changes in an environment will effect a community • Predict the effects on a population if there are too many or a scarcity of some animals or plants • Identify factors leading to extinction

  13. WEATHER • Identify solid, liquid, gas as states of water • Recognize the temperature at which water changes state • Investigate how clouds are formed • Collect and analyze weather data to determine patterns • Use weather data to predict weather • Use weather instruments to collect data • Use weather maps and weather symbols to communicate data

  14. FORCES and MOTION • Investigate how things move, change direction or speed • Identify simple machines • Determine how simple machines use motion to make work easier • Demonstrate the effect of gravity on the motion of an object • Determine relationship between force and size, speed, or direction on motion

  15. STARS and SOLAR SYSTEM • Observe stars in night sky and various resources • Compare number, color, size and position of stars • Identify constellations as patterns of stars • Compare planets and stars in number, appearance, position • Develop models of planets according to relative size and order from the sun • Relate models to explanations of Earth/moon/sun in day/night cycle, phases of the moon, and seasonal changes on Earth

  16. SOUND and LIGHT • Identify materials as transparent, opaque, or translucent • Use a mirror and light source to show reflection patterns • Identify the attributes and use of convex lens, concave lens and prism • Recognize that sound is produced by vibrations • Recognize conditions that cause sound to vary • Demonstrate changes of pitch

  17. ELA/READING • 1st 9wks Primary Focus: Informational Text ELACC4RI1-10 • Secondary Focus: Literary Text WRITING • Focus: Informative/Explanatory ELACC4W2 • 2-informativel/explanatory pieces examining a topic and conveying ideas • Routine writing (summaries, writing-to-learn tasks, response to a short text or an open-ended question) ELACC4W1, 2, 3, 9, 10

  18. 2nd 94ks Primary Focus: Literary Text • ELACC4RL1-10 • Secondary Focus: Informational Text • ELACC4RI1-10 WRITING • Opinion Writing • 2 opinion pieces supporting a position

  19. 3rd 9wks • Primary Focus: Informational Text • ELACC4RI1-10 • Secondary Focus: Literary WRITING • Opinion Writing • 2 opinion pieces supporting a position 1-2 short research connections (may be shared research on a topic or theme connected to the unit)

  20. 4th 9wks • Primary Focus: Literary Text • ELACC4RL1-10 • Secondary Focus: Informational Text • ELACC4RI1-10 WRITING • Focus: Informative/Explanatory ELACC4W2 • 2-informativel/explanatory pieces examining a topic and conveying ideas • Routine writing (summaries, writing-to-learn tasks, response to a short text or an open-ended question) ELACC4W1, 2, 3, 9, 10

  21. 1-2 narratives detailing a real or imagined experience ELACC4W3, 4, 5, 6, 10 Foundational Reading Skills ELACC4RF3-4 • Phonics, word recognition, and fluency Speaking and Listening ELACC4SL1-6 • Confirm understandings • Participate in collaborative discussions • Report findings Language ELACC4L1-6 • Study and apply grammar and vocabulary in speaking and writing

  22. Math Unit 1 Whole Numbers, Place Value, and Rounding in Computation In this unit students will: ● read numbers correctly through the millions ● write numbers correctly through millions in standard form ● write numbers correctly through millions in expanded form ● identify the place value name for multi-digit whole numbers ● identify the place value locations for multi-digit whole numbers ● round multi-digit whole numbers to any place ● solve multi-step problems using the four operations Unit 2 Multiplication and Division of Whole Numbers In this unit students will: ● solve multi-step problems using the four operations ● use estimation to solve multiplication and division problems ● find factors and multiples ● identify prime and composite numbers ● generate patterns

  23. Math Unit 3 Equivalent Fractions In this unit students will: ● understand representations of simple equivalent fractions ● compare fractions with different numerators and different denominators

  24. Math Unit 4 Operations with Fractions In this unit students will: ● Identify visual and written representations of fractions ● Understand representations of simple equivalent fractions ● Understand the concept of mixed numbers with common denominators to 12 ● Add and subtract fractions with common denominators ● Add and subtract mixed numbers with common denominators ● Convert mixed numbers to improper fractions and improper fractions to mixed fractions ● Understand a fraction a/b as a multiple of 1/b. (for example: model the product of ¾ as 3 x ¼ ). ● Understand a multiple of a/b as a multiple of 1/b, and use this understanding to multiply a fraction by a whole number. ● Solve word problems involving multiplication of a fraction by a whole number, e.g., by using visual fraction models and equations to represent the problem. ● Multiply a whole number by a fraction

  25. Math Unit 5 Fractions and Decimals In this unit students will: ● express fractions with denominators of 10 and 100 as decimals ● understand the relationship between decimals and the base ten system ● understand decimal notation for fractions ● use fractions with denominators of 10 and 100 interchangeably with decimals ● express a fraction with a denominator 10 as an equivalent fraction with a denominator 100 ● add fractions with denominators 10 and 100 (including adding tenths and hundredths) ● compare decimals to hundredths by reasoning their size ● understand that comparison of decimals is only valid when the two decimals refer to the same whole ● justify decimals comparisons using visual models Unit 6 Geometry In this unit students will: ● Draw points, lines, line segments, rays, angles (right, acute, obtuse), and perpendicular and parallel lines ● Identify and classify angles and identify them in two-dimensional figures ● Distinguish between parallel and perpendicular lines and use them in geometric figures ● Identify differences and similarities among two dimensional figures based on the absence or presence of characteristics such as parallel or perpendicular lines and angles of a specified size ● Sort objects based on parallelism, perpendicularity, and angle types ● Recognize a right triangle as a category for classification ● Identify lines of symmetry and classify line-symmetric figures ● Draw lines of symmetry

  26. Math Unit 7 Measurement and Data In this unit students will: ● investigate what it means to measure length, weight, volume, time, and angles ● understand how to use standardized tools to measure length, weight, volume, time, and angles ● understand how different units within a system (customary and metric) are related to each other ● know relative sizes of measurement units within one system of units including km, m, cm; kg, g; lb, oz; l, ml; hr, min, sec. ● solve word problems involving distances, intervals of time, liquid volumes, masses of objects, and money, including problems involving simple fractions or decimals. ● make a line plot to display a data set of measurements in fractions of a unit (1/2, ¼, 1/8) ● solve problems involving addition and subtraction of fractions by using information presented in line plots ● apply the area and perimeter formulas for rectangles in real world and mathematical problems. ● Recognize angles as geometric shapes that are formed wherever two rays share a common endpoint, and understand concepts of angle measurement ● Measure angles in whole number degrees using a protractor ● Recognize angle measurement as additive and when an angle is decomposed into non-overlapping parts, the angle measure of the whole is the sum of the angle measures of the parts.

  27. Test Taking Tips • Review notes and take home papers each night prior to the CRCT • Talk with your child about any concerns they may have • BE POSITIVE • Be on time • Try your best to be present every day • All day

  28. Before CRCT • Eat a good dinner • Go to bed at a decent time (8:30 pm) • Be on time • Before 8 am • Eat a good breakfast
