Quarter 1 States of Matter 3.P.2 Understand the structure and properties of matter before and after they undergo a change. 3.P.3 Recognize how energy can be transferred from one object to another. Physical and Chemical Changes
Earth's Land and Water Features 3.E.2 Compare the structures of the Earth’s surface using models or three-dimensional diagrams. 3.E.2.1 Compare Earth’s saltwater and freshwater features (including oceans, seas, rivers, lakes, ponds, streams, and glaciers). 3.E.2.2 Compare Earth’s land features (including volcanoes, mountains, valleys, canyons, caverns, and islands) by using models, pictures, diagrams, and maps.
Force and Motion 3.P.1 Understand motion and factors that affect motion. 3.P.1.1 Infer changes in speed or direction resulting from forces acting on an object. 3.P.1.2 Compare the relative speeds (faster or slower) of objects that travel the same distance in different amounts of time. 3.P.1.3 Explain the effect of Earth’s gravity on the motion of any object on or near the Earth. 3.P.3.1 Recognize that energy can be transferred from one object to another by rubbing them against each other.
Interactice Sites Force and Motion Quarter 3 - Objects in the Sky
3.E.1 Recognize the major components and patterns observed in the Earth/Moon/Sun system. 3.E.1.1 Recognize that the Earth is part of a system called the solar system that includes the sun (a star), planets, and many moons and the Earth is the third planet from the sun in our solar system. 3.E.1.2 Recognize that changes in the length and direction of an object’s shadow indicate the apparent changing position of the Sun during the day although the patterns of the stars in the sky, to include the Sun, stay the same.
3.L.2 Understand how plants survive in their environments. 3.L.2.1 Remember the function of the following plant structures as it relates to the survival of plants in their environments: • Roots – absorb nutrients • Stems – provide support • Leaves – synthesize food • Flowers – attract pollinators and produce seeds for reproduction. 3.L.2.2 Explain how environmental conditions determine how well plants survive and grow. 3.L.2.3 Summarize the distinct stages of the life cycle of seed plants. 3.L.2.4 Explain how the basic properties (texture and capacity to hold water) and components (sand, clay and humus) of soil determine the ability of soil to support the growth and survival of many plants.
