About Grade 4 Nova Scotia science

Nova Scotia follows the Nova Scotia Curriculum for science, organized around life science, physical science, and Earth and space science strands. In Grade 4, students explore human and animal senses, plant responses, biomes, and how living things interact. They also investigate states of matter, properties of materials, forms of energy, light, and sound, then move into Earth's structure, Earth's movement, and the solar system. StudyPug provides step-by-step lessons and practice problems for every one of these strands.

  • Strands: life science (senses, biomes, interactions), physical science (matter, energy, light, sound), and Earth and space science (structure, movement, solar system)
  • Step-by-step lessons and worked examples for every Grade 4 topic
  • Practice problems with instant feedback aligned to the Nova Scotia Curriculum
  • Foundation review, challenge problems, and smart recommendations to support every learner
