1 THIRD GRADE: SCIENCE PACING GUIDE: 1ST NINE WEEKS Days Standard Learning Targets Kit to Use Links to Lessons (Other than in kits) Links to Additional Resources (Promethean Lessons, Discovery, Etc.) I can identify specific parts of a plant and describe their function I can distinguish between living and non-living things. Science Studies Weekly: & Dev. Week 18, 19 Lessons1,2,5,6 McGraw Hill Science Text,,7,10,12,13, Unit A, Lesson 1 &2, pages A2-14 A I can determine how plants and animals compete for resources such as food, space, water, air, and shelter. Science Studies Weekly- Week I can identify the basic needs of plants and animals. I can recognize that animals obtain their food by eating plants and other animals. Science Studies Weekly- Week 20, 21 Link to Discovery Education

2 I can select an illustration that shows how an organism changes as it develops. Science Weekly: Week I can distinguish between characteristics that are transmitted from parents to offspring and those that are not. McGraw Hill Science Text Unit A, Lesson 3, pages A24- A 31 Science Weekly: Week I can investigate an organism's characteristics and evaluate how these features enable it to survive in a particular environment. Science Weekly: Week 22 Link to Discovery Education I can investigate populations of different organisms and classify them as thriving, threatened, endangered, or extinct. I can match the organism with evidence of its prior existence.

3 I can identify and compare the major components of the solar system. Science Studies Weekly - Week 13 &14 ers/unit/solar-system-everythingyou-need Recognize that that there are a variety of atmospheric conditions that can be measured. elementary-outreach/sciencelessons/3rd-grade-weather-unit/ Use tools such as the barometer, thermometer, anemometer, and rain gauge to measure atmospheric conditions. Atmosphere Strand 8 - McGraw hill Text, Unit D, pages D24-D25 du/issue/weather-and-climatefrom-home-to-the-poles/handson-science-and-literacy-lessonsabout-weather-and-climate Identify cloud types associated with particular atmospheric conditions. Weather cloud pictures - 1st grade kit The Weather Predict the weather based on cloud observations I can describe how to classify rocks according to their physical characteristics I can identify an object as natural or man-made I can classify landforms and bodies of water according to their geological features and identify them on a map I can determine methods for conserving natural resources. I can design a simple investigation to demonstrate how earth materials can be conserved or recycled. Rocks and Minerals Lessons 1-4, 16 (consolidate) Rocks and Minerals Lessons 1-4, Wonders - "How Weather Effects Us" Unit 6- Week 2 McGraw Hill Science Text Unit C, Lesson 6, pages C4-11 Science Weekly: Week 10 McGraw Hill Science Text Unit C Chapter 6, pages C Science Studies Weekly - Week 12 Link to Social Studies ms.comgrade level help/earth science kinds of rock third 3rd ecity/

4 THIRD GRADE: SCIENCE PACING GUIDE: 3rd NINE WEEKS Days Standard Learning Targets Kit to Use I can distinguish between pitch and volume. I can identify how sounds with different pitch and volume are produced. Sound Lessons 1-14 Days Standard Learning Targets Kit to Use I can describe a substance in terms of its physical properties. I can compare and contrast different types of mixtures. I can identify methods for separating different types of mixtures. I can use an illustration to identify various sources of heat energy. Links to Lessons (Other than in kits) Collaborate with music teacher Links to Lessons (Other than in kits) Science Studies Weekly - Week 5 Science Weekly - Week 4 Science Studies Weekly. Week 7 Links to Additional Resources (Promethean Lessons, Discovery, Etc.) THIRD GRADE: SCIENCE PACING GUIDE: 4th NINE WEEKS Links to Additional Resources (Promethean Lessons, Discovery, Etc.) I can classify materials according to their ability to conduct heat. Science Studies Weekly. Week 8

5 I can identify how the direction of a moving object is changed by an applied force I can demonstrate how changing the mass affects a balanced system. McGraw Hill Science text- Unit E, P. E Promethean Planet: Force and Motion, Brain Pop: Force ctivities/forceinmotion.html I can recognize that magnets can move objects without touching them. I can identify objects that are attracted to magnets. Promethean Planet: Marvelous Magnets by Judy Christopher. Brain Pop: Magnetism.
