Science 4
British Columbia · Grade 4 · Science — the complete curriculum-aligned outline, taught skill by skill by MapleMind's AI tutor.
Unit 1: Living Things
Big Idea: all living things sense and respond to their environment. Humans, other animals, and plants each sense the world in their own way and react to it, and large regions called biomes share similar environmental features that shape the living things found there.
- Sensing and responding in humans
- Sensing and responding in other animals
- Sensing and responding in plants
- Biomes as large regions with shared features
Unit 2: Matter
Big Idea: matter has mass, takes up space, and can change phase. Matter exists in different phases, and heating or cooling matter changes how fast its tiny particles move — and can change which phase it's in.
- The phases of matter
- How temperature changes particle movement
Unit 3: Energy
Big Idea: energy can be transformed. Energy comes in many forms and is conserved — it does not disappear, only changes form — and everyday devices transform energy from one form into another to do useful work.
- Energy has various forms
- Energy is conserved
- Devices that transform energy
Unit 4: Earth and Space
Big Idea: the motions of Earth and the moon cause observable patterns that affect living and non-living systems. The tilt of Earth's axis and its rotation and orbit cause local changes we can observe, and the changing positions of the sun, moon, and Earth explain things like day and night, seasons, tides, and moon phases — including local First Peoples perspectives on these patterns.
- Local changes from Earth's axis, rotation, and orbit
- Effects of sun, moon, and Earth positions
