Science
The student demonstrates an understanding of the forces that shape Earth by observing models of how waves, wind, water, and ice shape and reshape the Earth's surface by eroding rock and soil. (L)
Identify conditions that result in specific weather phenomena, including thunderstorms, tornadoes, and hurricanes.
Identifying positive and negative effects of weather phenomena. Examples: positive - flooding deposits good soil when waters recede, negative - flooding kills crops
Lesson Plan Weather - BundleGrade 3
Life Cycles: Understand the life cycles of plants and animals.
Compare life cycles of various plants (e.g., conifers, flowering plants, ferns).
Identify how organisms are classified in the Animalia and Plantae kingdoms.
The student demonstrates an understanding of the structure and properties of matter by classifying matter according to physical properties (i.e., color, size, shape, weight, texture, flexibility).
Identify physical and chemical changes of matter. Examples: physical - chopping wood, chemical - burning wood
Scientific Testing (Investigating and Modeling): Participate in planning and conducting investigations, and recording data.
Conduct simple investigations (e.g., related to plant life cycles, changing the pitch of a sound, properties of rocks) in life, physical, and Earth and space sciences.
Lesson Plan Sound - BundleGrade 3
Define force and motion.
Identifying forces that change an object's position or motion. Examples: lifting, pushing, pulling
The student demonstrates an understanding of the forces that shape Earth by identifying and comparing a variety of Earth's land features (i.e., rivers, deltas, lakes, glaciers, mountains, valleys, and islands).
The student demonstrates an understanding of the theories regarding the origin and evolution of the universe by recognizing that objects appear smaller the farther away they are.
Describe ways energy from the sun is used. Examples: plant growth, light, heat
Identifying fossil fuels as a source of energy
Describe Earth's layers, including inner and outer cores, mantle, and crust.
Classifying rocks and minerals by characteristics, including streak, color, hardness, magnetism, luster, and texture
Describe the life cycle of plants, including seed, seed germination, growth, and reproduction.
Describing the role of plants in a food chain
Organisms and Environments: Understand the relationships among various organisms and their environment.
Examine an ecosystem to identify microscopic and macroscopic organisms.
The student demonstrates an understanding of geochemical cycles by describing the water cycle to show that water circulates through the crust, oceans, and atmosphere of Earth.
Lesson Plan Water - BundleGrade 3
Grade Level Expectation: Objects in the Sky: Identify, in order, the planets of the solar system (ESS-E-B1)
Determine habitat conditions that support plant growth and survival. Examples: deserts support cacti, wetlands support ferns and mosses
Describe the life cycle of plants, including seed, seed germination, growth, and reproduction.
Identifying photosynthesis as the method used by plants to produce food
Develop an understanding of the processes of science used to investigate problems, design and conduct repeatable scientific investigations, and defend scientific arguments.
Scientific Equipment and Technology: Use simple equipment, age appropriate tools, technology, and mathematics in scientific investigations (e.g., balances, hand lenses, microscopes, rulers, thermometers, calculators, computers)
