Grade Level Expectations
3.1.3: Carry out simple tests to determine if materials dissolve, sink or float in water, conduct heat or attract to magnets.
Conduction and Convection
Density
Magnetism
3.1.4: Classify materials based on their observable properties, including state of matter.
Mineral Identification
Phases of Water
3.1.5: Design and conduct fair tests to investigate the absorbency of different materials, write conclusions based on evidence, and analyze why similar investigations might produce different results.
Color Absorption
Heat Absorption
3.1.6: Explain the role of heating and cooling in changing matter from one state to another during freezing, melting, evaporation and condensation.
3.2.1: Compare and contrast the external features and behaviors that enable different animals and plants (including those that are extinct) to get food, water and sunlight; find mates; and be protected in specific land and water habitats.
Flower Pollination
Growing Plants
3.3.3: Conduct simple tests to determine properties of different minerals (e.g. color, odor, streak, luster, hardness, magnetism), organize data in a table, and use the data and other resources to identify unknown mineral specimens.
3.4.3: Explain advantages and disadvantages of renewable and nonrenewable energy sources that can be used for making electricity, fueling cars or heating homes.
