These Grade 4 science lessons are a combination of videos, worksheets, and online exercises taken from all over the web and correlate with the Ontario Science Curriculum. However there is an online etext for grade 4 science that I found but it’s for California. You may view it here and use it in conjunction with these lessons if you wish, but there is no “Sound” covered in their etext. Here is their accompanying Activity Lab book. Here is their accompanying Reading and Writing workbook.
