Introduction This Pennsylvania Learns iTunes U course is a collection of resources to support teaching and learning in the Grade 4 classroom. The content of this course is organized around the Grade 4 Pennsylvania Academic Standards for Science and Technology and Engineering. We believe that Pennsylvania teachers know what is needed to support their instructional design and delivery, as well as what engages students in their own learning. For these reasons, the materials and resources provided in this course were curated by teachers. This course is not a curriculum; rather, it is a collection of assets aligned to Pennsylvania Academic Standards to support teaching and learning. The topics found in this course do not need to be taught in order. !1 Info about the URL Assignment / Call to (published on the "i" Module Title Message Action (200 Character Content Directions Resource / URL Notes button of a resource/ Max) url) In this module, you will learn Earth's place in space, 3.3.
