Special Opportunities:
Old Union 4th graders have special opportunities to be part of two different science clubs:
This Month:
This month, we are focusing on adaptations. Students will do a variety of activities with adaptations, including adaptation stations, a bird beak investigation, and a creative project about adaptations. (Read more about the project HERE.)
Home Connection(s):
- Give your child opportunities to point out learned and inherited adaptations at home.
- Here are some computer games about adaptations that might be fun to play: Animal Adaptations and Camouflage.
Upcoming Events:
- In October, 4th grade students will complete a creative project in Science Lab. If you have any craft supplies you don't need (markers, tape, pipe cleaners, tissue paper, craft poms, construction paper, beads, toothpicks, yarn, foil, etc.), we would love to take those off your hands! Students can bring them to Science Lab at any time.
- The submission deadline for the first annual Old Union Science Fair is on November 7. Please click HERE for more information.
- 4th graders will complete a project in our next unit that requires one clean, 2-liter bottle. Please bring your donation(s) to your homeroom teacher.
