3.PS.2: Motion and Stability: Forces and Interactions
3.PS.2.1: Plan and conduct investigations on the effects of balanced and unbalanced forces on the motion of an object.
3.PS.2.2: Make observations and/or measurements of the object?s motion to provide evidence that a pattern can be used to predict future motion.
Measuring Motion
Pendulum Clock
3.PS.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.LS.1: From Molecules to Organisms: Structure and Processes
3.LS.1.1: Develop models to describe that organisms have unique and diverse life cycles but all have in common birth, growth, reproduction, and death.
Flower Pollination
Honeybee Hive
3.LS.2: Ecosystems: Interactions, Energy, and Dynamics
3.LS.2.1: Construct an argument that some animals form groups that help members survive.
3.LS.3: Heredity: Inheritance and Variation of Traits
3.LS.3.1: 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.3.2: Use evidence to support the explanation that traits can be influenced by the environment.
Effect of Environment on New Life Form
Growing Plants
Inheritance
Measuring Trees
3.LS.4: Biological Unity and Diversity
3.LS.4.1: Analyze and interpret data from fossils to provide evidence of the organisms and the environments in which they lived long ago.
3.LS.4.2: 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.LS.4.3: 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.
