According to the Common Core State Standards Initiative, fourth-grade writing should include opinion pieces, informative or explanatory texts, and narratives about real or imagined experiences. Additionally, a fourth-grade writing curriculum should include short research projects.

These writing prompts offer diverse forms of inspiration for every student.

1. Best Friends Forever. Write an essay explaining what makes your best friend the best best friend.

1. Bullied. Explain how you would handle being bullied and the steps you would take to stop a bully.

2. Mad Skills. Describe an unusual talent, hobby, or skill that you possess.

3. Cuisine. Describe a food that is unique to your family or area of the world to someone who has never tasted it.

4. Role Model. Think of a person who has made an impact on your life and describe the role they've played.

5. Pay It Forward. What is one thing you would like to do-either now or in the future-to make the world a better place?

6. Packing. Explain the most effective way to pack for a trip to ensure that you have everything you need.

SHOW ANSWER

First of all, let's look at the picture on the left. The top layer is orange. Here, we can eliminate option C directly.

The purple layer underneath will not be visible because it is the same size as the top one.

The small circle below will not be seen from the top of the mould.

Beneath the small orange circle is a large purple circle. This is the second circle that will appear after the initial orange circle and will appear as a thin purple line.

A slightly larger orange circle than the purple one is just below it. This will appear on the outside as the largest circle in our painting.

Therefore, the answer to this riddle is A.

Well done! Did you like it? Many of riddles and brain teasers waiting for you in MentalUP with Premium features.

If you're looking for easy science experiments for kids as well as science based activities, you'll find dozens, for all age groups, here on my blog.

What is Science?

Science is the study of the world around us. Chemistry, Physics, Biology and Environmental Science are just a few examples of the sciences that surround us every day.

Incorporating Science into Playful Activities

Because science plays a major role in almost everything we do and observe, it's easy to incorporate simple science concepts and lessons into fun experiments, countless art and sensory activities, and even into some of the crafts you do with your kids.

Use Common Household Materials and Supplies

And many can be done with very little prep, and with common household supplies (soap, food colouring, toilet paper etc) or natural occurring materials (baking soda, water, ice, salt etc.)

Below, you'll find all of the science activities that I've shared on my blog, over the years, conveniently grouped by category.

Whether you're looking for beginner science activities to do with toddlers and preschoolers, or simple but cool science experiments to do with elementary school kids and tweens, you're bound to find some ideas here that you'll love.

Science Activities for Kids

Classic Science Activities:

Ice Experiments:

Water Experiments & Activities:

Did you know that the seaweed you've seen in the ocean or even eaten as a snack is inspiring innovators to imagine new materials? Large brown algae, like kelp, contains polymers-long chains of molecules-that are more environmentally friendly than the ones in most plastics. These natural polymers (alginates) could eventually be used to create sustainable everyday objects. Try your hand at using a bit of chemistry to turn biodegradable polymers from algae into your own custom... Read more
