Our district units are closely aligned with the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS). We have four units of study in third grade science:
1. Forces and Interactions
2. Interdependent Relationships in Ecosystems
3. Inheritance and Variation of Traits
4. Weather and Climate
In addition, the students participate in many classroom Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) projects meant to motivate and inspire them to excel in these areas. Are you interested in additional STEM activities at home? Here is one of many websites to explore:
