__**Rationale:**__ I chose these activities and lessons based on fourth grade science, comprehension, and writing standards. The idea is to incorporate content and literacy by mixing the materials/activities together into one unit. Many teachers find it difficult to fit all content areas into one school day. Using this approach, one will find it manageable to get through all standards without as much of a crunch-time at the end of the year.
