May/June 2007 Fourth Grade students have just recently finished taking their New York State Science Exams. They did an outstanding job and 90% of the class scored a 4 which is the highest level and exceeds NYS expectations. I am very proud of them all!! They have also just finished aquatic animal reports and presentations and did an outstanding job. The poster boards were all beautiful and will be on display at the learning fair. We are now working on a chapter about the solar system and will then move on to our last unit – The Human Body. We will learn about the digestive, circulatory, and nervous systems. November/December 2006 We began the year with a Unit on Life Science. Students learned about flower parts and we dissected a flower in lab. We learned about animal classifications and habitats. We discussed food chains and food webs as well as survival techniques and adaptations such as hibernation, migration and camouflage. We have now begun our second unit on Physical Science. We are learning about matter, mass, volume, and density. We are also learning the standard metric measurements for length, mass, and volume. We will be talking about magnets, electricity, and series and parallel circuits in the next few weeks. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________ May 2006 St. Ambrose 4th Grade Science Teacher, Julie Pyzanowski announces the results of this year's New York State 4th Grade Science exam: 14 4th Grade students took the exam. 13 of those students achieved a Level 4 score, the highest level possible and 1 student scored a Level 3.
