Motion and Stability: Forces and Interactions

  • 1.

    Plan and conduct investigations on the effects of balanced and unbalanced forces on the motion of an object.3.PS2.1

  • 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.PS2.2

  • 3.

    Ask questions to determine cause and effect relationships of electric or magnetic interactions between two objects not in contact with each other.3.PS2.3

  • 4.

    Define a simple design problem that can be solved by applying scientific ideas about magnets.3.PS2.4

From Molecules to Organisms: Structure and Function

  • 1.

    Develop and use models to describe that organisms have unique and diverse life cycles but all have a common pattern of birth, growth, reproduction, and death.3.LS1.1

Heredity: Inheritance and Variation of Traits

  • 1.

    Construct an argument that some animals form groups that help members survive.3.LS2.1

  • 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.LS3.1

  • 2.

    Use evidence to support the explanation that traits can be influenced by the environment.3.LS3.2

Biological Unity and Diversity

  • 1.

    Analyze and interpret data from fossils to provide evidence of the organisms and the environments in which they lived long ago.3.LS4.1

  • 2.

    Use evidence to construct an explanation for how the variations in characteristics among individuals of the same species may provide advantages in surviving and reproducing.3.LS4.2

  • 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.LS4.3

  • 4.

    Make a claim about the merit of a solution to a problem caused when the environment changes and the types of plants and animals that live there may change.3.LS4.4

Earth's Systems

  • 1.

    Represent data in tables and graphical displays to describe typical weather conditions expected during a particular season.3.ESS2.1

  • 2.

    Obtain and combine information to describe climates in different regions of the world.3.ESS2.2

Earth and Human Activity

  • 1.

    Make a claim about the merit of a design solution that reduces the impacts of a weather-related hazard.3.ESS3.1
