4th grade Science worksheets
These are the Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS) expectations for 4th grade science (typically ages 9–10). Edstronaut writes practice questions against them — around your child's own name, interests and the people in their life — and every answer sheet cites the standard it covers.

What 4th grade science covers
17 published expectations from Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS). Every question Edstronaut writes cites one of these.
Grade 4
- 4-PS3-1Use evidence to construct an explanation relating the speed of an object to the energy of that object.
- 4-PS3-2Make observations to provide evidence that energy can be transferred from place to place by sound, light, heat, and electric currents.
- 4-PS3-3Ask questions and predict outcomes about the changes in energy that occur when objects collide.
- 4-PS3-4Apply scientific ideas to design, test, and refine a device that converts energy from one form to another.
- 4-PS4-1Develop a model of waves to describe patterns in terms of amplitude and wavelength and that waves can cause objects to move.
- 4-PS4-2Develop a model to describe that light reflecting from objects and entering the eye allows objects to be seen.
- 4-PS4-3Generate and compare multiple solutions that use patterns to transfer information.
- 4-LS1-1Construct an argument that plants and animals have internal and external structures that function to support survival, growth, behavior, and reproduction.
- 4-LS1-2Use a model to describe that animals' receive different types of information through their senses, process the information in their brain, and respond to the information in different ways.
- 4-ESS1-1Identify evidence from patterns in rock formations and fossils in rock layers to support an explanation for changes in a landscape over time.
- 4-ESS2-1Make observations and/or measurements to provide evidence of the effects of weathering or the rate of erosion by water, ice, wind, or vegetation.
- 4-ESS2-2Analyze and interpret data from maps to describe patterns of Earth's features.
- 4-ESS3-1Obtain and combine information to describe that energy and fuels are derived from natural resources and their uses affect the environment.
- 4-ESS3-2Generate and compare multiple solutions to reduce the impacts of natural Earth processes on humans.
- 3-5-ETS1-1Define a simple design problem reflecting a need or a want that includes specified criteria for success and constraints on materials, time, or cost.
- 3-5-ETS1-2Generate and compare multiple possible solutions to a problem based on how well each is likely to meet the criteria and constraints of the problem.
- 3-5-ETS1-3Plan and carry out fair tests in which variables are controlled and failure points are considered to identify aspects of a model or prototype that can be improved.
