The document provides a sample budget of work for a multigrade science class covering competencies on matter for grades 4, 5, and 6 over 8 weeks. It includes the competencies, suggested learning activities, and assessment strategies for each grade level. The learning activities incorporate experiments, demonstrations, group work and discussions to teach concepts like properties of materials, changes in materials, and techniques for separating mixtures. Assessment strategies include quizzes, observations, presentations and other hands-on assignments to evaluate student understanding of matter and related concepts.
