SCIENCE
LESSON OBJECTIVES FOR GRADES 4-8 FOR WEEK SEPT. 6-10, 2010
Mrs. Barbara Baker
Dear Parents,
Students in fourth through eighth grades will
participate in 4H Club. Leaders will come to my classroom once a month to present hands on science lessons.
Their first meeting will be Wednesday, September 8, 2010, during this time the students select a name
for their club, elect officers and learn what they will be studying. Fourth grade topic is Exploring Science, fifth
grade Weather, sixth grade Electroworks, seventh grade In-Touch II Life Science, eighth grade In-Touch Earth Science.
Fourth grade classes have enjoyed 4H for over ten years and I am happy that our leaders have been
able to include fourth through eighth grades. The students thoroughly enjoy 4H and the leaders are fantastic.
Thanks
Mrs. B. Baker
