4th Grade Science in Illinois

Illinois 4th grade science is guided by the Illinois Learning Standards for Science, which are based on the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS). Students in 4th grade explore how energy moves, how waves carry information, how living things use their structures to survive, and how Earth's surface changes over time.

Key Topics in Illinois 4th Grade Science

Energy: Students learn how energy is transferred through collisions and how it can be converted from one form to another.
Waves and Information: Students explore how waves transfer energy and how patterns in waves carry information over distances.
Plant and Animal Structures: Students examine internal and external structures that help plants and animals survive, grow, and reproduce.
Earth's Surface Processes: Students study how wind, water, and vegetation shape and change Earth's surface over time.
