Puzzles for the fourth grade units. Social studies: US States, US Regions and State Capitals, with state history in Texas History and the California Gold Rush, two of the many states that teach their own history in fourth grade. Physical science: Electricity and Magnetism and Energy. Life science: Ecosystems and Food Chains. Earth science: Rocks and Minerals, Weathering and Erosion, Volcanoes and Earthquakes. Reading: Figurative Language.
The reading researcher Jeanne Chall named the fourth grade slump: the year school books turn from stories to subject texts full of words like erosion, magnetism and ecosystem, and some children who read well in third grade fall behind. Finding those words in a grid is one more look at how they are spelled.
