Grade 4 Science Q4 - Earth and Space
-featured.png)
An engaging elementary science course for Filipino learners exploring soil types, water retention, plant growth, local weather, and the Sun. Through guided observations, simple experiments (soil tests, plant trials, shadow-stick studies), and practical lessons on reading local forecasts (e.g., PAGASA) and weather safety, students gain observation skills, environmental awareness, and preparedness. Ideal for young students and teachers seeking a hands-on introduction to natural resources and everyday science in the Philippines.
