Description
Science Differentiated Passages: Waves – 4-PS4-1
⭐️These science differentiated passages focus on developing a model of waves to describe patterns in terms of amplitude and wavelength and that waves can cause objects to move.
⭐️This unit is perfect for 4th grade. It was created to align with 4-PS4-1 but can be used in any classroom to teach students about waves.
⭐️Integrates key reading skills, with a focus on drawing conclusions and making inferences. Incorporates key vocabulary, text features, graphic organizers, and open-ended questions.
⭐️Other Standards To Address in Questions and Images:
ELA/Literacy
- SL.4.5 – Add audio recordings and visual displays to presentations when appropriate to enhance the development of main ideas or themes.
Mathematics
- 4.G.A.1 – Draw points, lines, line segments, rays, angles (right, acute, obtuse), and perpendicular and parallel lines. Identify these in two-dimensional figures.
- MP.4 – Model with mathematics.
Key Features:
