4th Grade Science in Washington DC

Washington DC 4th grade science follows standards that guide students through physical science, life science, and Earth science concepts. By the end of 4th grade, students are expected to understand how energy moves, how waves work, how living things adapt to their environments, and how Earth's surface changes over time.

Key Topics in DC 4th Grade Science

  • Energy: Students learn how energy is transferred and transformed in everyday situations.
  • Waves: Students explore how waves carry information and how light and sound travel.
  • Ecosystems: Students study how plants, animals, and their environments interact and depend on each other.
