Physical Science

  • 3-PS-1.

    Motion and Stability: Forces and Interactions3-PS-1

    1. 1.

      Plan and conduct an investigation to provide evidence of the effects of balanced and unbalanced forces on the motion of an object.3-PS-1.1

    2. 2.

      Make observations and/or measurements of an object's motion to provide evidence that a pattern can be used to predict future motion.3-PS-1.2

    3. 3.

      Ask questions to determine cause and effect relationships of static electricity or magnetic interactions between two objects not in contact with each other.3-PS-1.3

    4. 4.

      Define a problem that can be solved by applying scientific ideas about magnets.3-PS-1.4

Life Science

  • 3-LS-1.

    From Molecules to Organisms: Structures and Processes3-LS-1

    1. 1.

      Develop models to demonstrate that living things, although they have unique and diverse life cycles, all have birth, growth, reproduction, and death in common.3-LS-1.1

  • 3-LS-2.

    Ecosystems: Interactions, Energy, and Dynamics3-LS-2

    1. 1.

      Construct an argument that some animals form groups that help members survive.3-LS-2.1

  • 3-LS-3.

    Heredity: Inheritance and Variation of Traits3-LS-3

    1. 1.

      Analyze and interpret data to provide evidence that plants and animals have traits inherited from parents and that variation of these traits exists in a group of similar organisms.3-LS-3.1

    2. 2.

      Use evidence to support the explanation that traits can be influenced by the environment.3-LS-3.2

    3. 3.

      Construct an argument with evidence that in a particular habitat some organisms can survive well, some survive less well, and some cannot survive at all.3-LS-3.3

Earth and Space Science
