About these 4th grade science worksheets
These 4th grade science worksheets follow the NGSS grade 4 standards: energy and speed, energy in collisions, how energy moves as sound, light, heat and electricity, simple circuits, renewable and nonrenewable resources, wave amplitude and wavelength, light and how we see, sending codes with patterns, animal and plant structures, senses and the brain, rock layers and fossils, weathering and erosion, earthquakes and volcanoes on maps, and engineering solutions to natural hazards.
Several sheets ask children to predict, test and explain, and the circuit and Morse code sheets connect science to engineering and information technology.

How to get the most out of them
- 1
Build a simple circuit with a battery, wire and bulb before the circuit sheet.
- 2
Tap out a message in Morse code with a flashlight after the patterns sheet.
- 3
Look for weathering around your neighborhood: cracked sidewalks, worn steps and tree roots.
4th Grade Science Worksheets — questions parents ask
- What science is taught in 4th grade?
- Under NGSS, 4th graders study energy, waves and information, the structures and functions of living things, Earth’s changing surface, natural resources and natural hazards.
- Do these sheets need materials?
- Most need nothing. A battery, wire and small bulb make the circuit sheet more meaningful, and a flashlight helps with the Morse code activity.
