Science: Matter, Motion, Energy and Light: 2nd - 4th

Science class for the primary grades has been designed to address 2nd , 3rd and 4th grade standards as set out by the State of Tennessee. This year, we will work on the concepts of matter, motion, energy and light. Students will work in the classroom, perform laboratory activities, and have homework assignments. Activities will be designed for 4th grade students. Students in 2nd and 3rd grade will be expected to perform to their level of ability. Homework is provided so that families can ensure that the students have the opportunity to meet the minimum number of study hours.
