4th Grade Science Penguin Activities You’ll Love- Better Than a Worksheet!
Hello, 4th grade teachers!
Welcome to The Science Penguin. We are here to simplify and streamline your teaching of 4th grade science.
We’ve got you covered with phenomena-based units, interactive notebook templates, task cards, sorts, digital activities, stations, and slides.
We have so many great resources that I will simplify the search so you can save time.
Let’s begin!
🧠 Know Your 4th Grade Science Standards
NGSS: California, Oregon, Nevada, Washington, Hawaii, New Mexico, Kansas, Arkansas, Illinois, Michigan, Iowa, Kentucky, Washington DC, Maryland, Delaware, New Jersey, New York, Connecticut, Rhode Island, Vermont, New Hampshire, and Maine
NGSS with a different name: Alabama, Arkansas, Idaho, Indiana, Iowa, Michigan, Nebraska, North Dakota, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, South Dakota, West Virginia, Wisconsin, and Wyoming
Nearly Identical to NGSS: Louisiana and Montana
Similar to NGSS: Utah and Massachusetts
Texas has TEKS (Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills). Virginia has SOL (Standards of Learning). Florida has NGSSS (Next Generation Sunshine State Standards), not to be confused with NGSS. 😅 Other states have their own unique standards.
A lack of cohesion can make planning difficult, but I am here to help you!

⭐️ Full Year 4th Grade Science Bundles
We offer TWO distinct 4th-grade bundles with a full year of lessons, including a day-by-day planning guide!
If you are in a different state that does not use NGSS or TEKS, it may be best to shop by unit or pick the bundle that is closest to your state’s standards. For example, Oklahoma’s standards are nearly identical to NGSS, so I recommend the NGSS Bundle.
Full year bundles are available on TPT and our site .
NGSS Bundle
Teks bundle, 🔎 science activity packs.
Some teachers prefer to get just the materials they need for each unit! That’s why we designed Activity Packs for different science topics. They are available on TPT. See Science Activity Packs.
In the Activity Packs, you’ll find notebook templates, hands-on activities, stations, slides & notes, task cards, and digital activities. You will have SO much fun planning! See all 28 topics.
Here are the 8 most popular Science Activity Packs for 4th grade.
💡 5E Phenomena-based Science Units
Are you looking to anchor your units with phenomena, incorporate content-driven STEM, and develop claims with evidence and reasoning? We have that too! Our unit plans guide you step by step through the 5E Model with rich content, photo examples, and answer keys too!
These are available on TPT. See all Phenomena-based Units.
Here are 8 teacher favorites!

Hi, I'm Ari!
As a new teacher, I struggled to plan engaging, rigorous science lessons. Throughout my time teaching upper elementary and in my graduate studies, I discovered what worked well and developed science curriculum for busy teachers. Now, teachers across the country use Science Penguin activities every single day in their classrooms!
