Science Bundle: Lessons, Activities & Assessments for Grades 4-5

A full year of science curriculum that actually works!

This Science Bundle for Grades 4-5 includes 16 complete two-week units plus a test prep unit at an amazing price. With this bundle, you get the entire year at a significant discount, 20%!

If teaching science has ever left you scrambling on Sunday night or feeling guilty because science got bumped again this week, I made this resource for you.

Teaching science can be tough.

Teachers tell me that their district-provided science curriculum is

📚 too long.

🤯 too complicated.

⏰ impossible to prep.

Or worse, they don’t have any curriculum at all. Yikes!

But our Science Bundle for Grades 4-5 makes teaching science a piece of cake.

This HUGE bundle takes all the guesswork out of teaching science and gives you the tools you need to teach engaging and effective lessons without breaking a sweat.

Units Included:

• Exploring Science: An Introduction to the Scientific Method
• Weather & Climate
• Plant Structures & Life Cycle
• Rocks & Fossils
• Energy
• Matter
• Earth’s Landforms
• Animal Structures and Life Cycles
• Animal Adaptations
• Chemical Reactions
• Ecosystems & Food Chains
• Force & Motion
• Magnets
• Heredity & Traits
• The Water Cycle
• Space

That’s a full year of done-for-you science lessons and activities! And all you have to do is print and teach. The lesson plans are that simple. Seriously.

What’s Included in Each Done-For-You Unit:

• Daily lesson plans with NGSS alignment (Clear, concise, and easy to follow)
• PowerPoint lessons with detailed teacher notes (Just project on the board and teach)
• Student booklets with engaging, hands-on activities (All student work in one place)
• Reading passages to build science literacy (No hunting for books or articles)
• Science stations and task cards for practice and review (Keep learning fun and active)
• STEM challenges and investigations (Hands-on learning that students love)
• Vocabulary cards (Available in color and black and white)
• Comprehensive assessments (Aligned to the unit’s learning objectives)
• Intervention and enrichment suggestions (Built right into every lesson plan)
• Print-and-go and low-prep materials (Everything you need, ready to use)

How to Use it in the Classroom:

Most units are two weeks long and follow the same routine. This saves time and students know what to expect:

A Typical 30-Minute Science Lesson:

• Mini-Lesson (10-15 minutes): Project the PowerPoint and teach. Students follow along in their booklets, filling in blanks and engaging with the content.
• Independent Work Time (12-15 minutes): Students complete booklet activities that reinforce the day’s lesson.
• Wrap-Up (2-3 minutes): Review key concepts with an exit ticket or class discussion.

Week 1: Students learn important foundational skills and basic knowledge.

Week 2: Students dig deeper and explore these skills and ideas in greater depth through passages, investigations, science stations, STEM activities, or experiments.

End of Unit: Comprehensive assessment covering all content from the unit.

Each unit follows the same structure, so you only have to teach the expectations and procedures one time. After that, your students will know exactly what’s coming next. You’ll save so much class time! And best of all, this bundle makes science FUN for your students. Hands-on investigations keep them engaged. STEM challenges build problem-solving skills. Real-world connections show them why science matters. When students enjoy science and get lots of hands-on practice, they develop critical thinking skills that transfer to every subject.

Differentiation:

There are many ways to differentiate science lessons:

• Each daily lesson plan includes intervention and enrichment suggestions built right in
• Intervention strategies provide targeted support for students who need additional help
• Enrichment activities offer advanced learners opportunities to extend their understanding
• Students can work independently, with partners, or in small groups
• Complete fewer activities or provide additional support during stations and task cards
• Use student booklets as reference materials during independent work
