Science 3

In Grade 3 science, students will learn to organize and use data to describe typical weather conditions expected during a particular season. In addition, students will develop an understanding of the similarities and differences of organisms’ life cycles as well as develop an understanding of types of organisms that lived long ago and the nature of their environments.

Third graders learn to determine the effects of balanced and unbalanced forces on the motion of an object and the cause and effect relationships of electric or magnetic interactions between two objects not in contact with each other. They will then apply their understanding of magnetic interactions to define a simple design problem that can be solved with magnets.
