Fourth Grade Science Pacing Guide First 9 weeks Red: change made during 2010 standard adoption Blue: Resource that you can use from VDOE Green: where an I-STEM unit is in place to support that SOL strand 4.1 The student will demonstrate an understanding of scientific reasoning, logic and the nature of science by planning and conducting investigations in which a) distinctions are made among observations, conclusions, inferences, and predictions; b) objects or events are classified and arranged according to characteristics or properties; c) appropriate instruments are selected and used to measure length, mass, volume, and temperature in metric units; d) appropriate instruments are selected and used to measure elapsed time; e) predictions and inferences are made, and conclusions are drawn from a variety of sources.; f) independent and dependent variables are identified; g) constants in an experimental situation are identified; h) hypotheses are developed as cause and effect relationships; i) data are collected, recorded, analyzed, and displayed using bar and basic line graphs;, j) numerical data that are contradictory or unusual in experimental results are recognized; k) data are communicated with simple graphs, pictures, written statements, and numbers l) models are constructed to clarify explanations, demonstrate relationships, and solve needs; and m) current applications are used to reinforce science concepts. Unit SOL by number and letter Enhanced Scope and Sequence connection Essential Skills Vocabulary Scientific Investigation 4.1 differentiate among simple observations, conclusions, inferences, and predictions, and correctly apply the terminology analyze, choose appropriate instrument, measure, predict using graphs, independent and dependent variables, constants are identified millimeters, centimeters, meters, kilometers, milliliters, liters, grams, and kilograms inference experiment, instrument, independent, depe
