I am very excited to announce that Love Learning Stem is officially launching the 4th Grade NGSS Science Curriculum Growing Bundle! The goal was for it to get launched before it was completed so that teachers had the opportunity to purchase it before all of the components were added. Once all the resources have been added, the price goes up, so you won’t get the price cheaper than what it is right now!
In this post, I will be sharing all about the Love Learning Stem 4th Grade NGSS Science Curriculum and address any frequently asked questions! If you’ve read any of my previous posts like this one, you will see this curriculum incorporates lessons from those posts.
What’s in this 4th Grade Science Curriculum?
This 4th Grade Science Curriculum aligned to NGSS is the perfect addition to any fourth-grade classroom! They are directly aligned to the science standards and differentiated to meet all student needs. It includes the five units covered in fourth grade: energy, sound and light waves, animal and plant structure and function, rock layers and fossils, weathering and erosions, and renewable energy.
Within the units, you will find teacher guides, student journals, informational reading passages with questions, task cards, WebQuests, flipbooks, stem challenges, labs, early finisher work, and assessments.
Do you have a video explaining an example of a unit?
Yes. In the video following, you will be able to see clearly what a complete unit in this 4th Grade Science Curriculum looks like. You will see how easy it is to set it up, get access to the Teacher’s Guide and the Student Journal.
What’s in the Bonus File?
Oftentimes, teachers were reaching out to see how they can access all of the digital links on one sheet. This is why I updated this curriculum to include a Teacher’s Guide with all of the necessary information a teacher will need to get started teaching 4th-grade science! This is a MEGA bundle for 4th-grade science, so to make accessing resources easier, there is a BONUS teacher’s guide that includes suggested unit breakdowns, and quick access to digital links. Watch this video to get a closer look at how the units are broken down in this curriculum.

What are people saying about this bundle?
“This product helps me present Science in a fun way. I love that everything is laid out for teaching and is easy to follow.” Marlene
“Very comprehensive which is great!” Sara
“This resource is excellent for digital learning! It has tons! I got it early, knowing more will be added, but what it has right now is perfect for 4th-grade science. The digital units are well organized and match perfectly with the standards. The boom cards also match right up with what is covered in the digital unit. To use this, I recorded myself going over a PPT and then posted the video and assigned the work to the classroom! Easy to use and the directions are great for the kids! Highly recommend.”

Yes, the resources are both in digital and printable versions. In each unit, you will have the Teacher’s Guide in the Bonus File section, and you will see the page with all of the forced copy links to the digital links in the unit.
