Gwinnett, GA: 3rd Grade (2018) Gizmos | Browse by Core Curriculum

3SC.A: Physical Science

3SC.A.1: obtain, evaluate, and communicate information about the ways heat energy is transferred and measured

3SC.A.1.a: ask questions to identify sources of heat energy

3SC.A.1.b: plan and carry out an investigation to gather data using thermometers to produce tables and charts that illustrate the effect of sunlight on various objects

3SC.C: Life Science

3SC.C.4: obtain, evaluate, and communicate information about the similarities and differences between plants, animals, and habitats (mountains, piedmont, marsh/swamp, coast, Atlantic Ocean) found within geographic regions (Blue Ridge Mountains, Appalachian Plateau, Valley and Ridge, Piedmont, Coastal Plains) of Georgia

3SC.C.4.c: construct an explanation using evidence of how external features and adaptations (e.g., camouflage, use of hibernation, protection, migration, mimicry) of animals allow them to survive in their habitat

3SC.C.4.e: construct an explanation to communicate what will happen to an organism if a habitat is manipulated or changed (e.g., destruction of forests, advancement of technology, effects of migration)

3SCE: Science Grade 3 Enrich

3SCE.A: Content

3SCE.A.1: plan and carry out an investigation to gather data using thermometers to produce tables and charts that illustrate the effect of sunlight on various objects

3SCE.A.7: construct an explanation using evidence of how external features and adaptations (i.e., camouflage, use of hibernation, protection, migration, mimicry) of animals allow them to survive in their habitat

3SCE.A.8: use evidence to construct an explanation of why some organisms can thrive in one habitat and not in another

3SCE.A.9: construct an explanation to communicate what will happen to an organism if a habitat is manipulated or changed (e.g., destruction of forests, advancement of technology, effects of migration)

3STE: STEM Exploratory/Grade 3

3STE.A: Technology, Programming, and Robotics

3STE.A.1: create algorithms, or series of ordered steps, to solve problems

3STE.A.3: collect, analyze, and represent data effectively

3STE.A.6: write programs using block-based programming languages

3STE.A.7: locate and debug errors in a program

3STE.A.10: implement problem solutions using a programming language, including sequence, iteration (i.e., simple and nested loops), and conditional statements

3STE.B: Science

3STE.B.11: obtain, evaluate, and communicate information about the ways heat energy is transferred and measured

3STE.C: Math

3STE.C.14: apply multiplication and division within 100 (products or dividends 0-100) to solve word problems in situations involving equal groups, arrays and measurement quantities (e.g., by using drawings and equations with a symbol for the unknown number to represent the problem)

3STE.C.15: draw a scaled picture graph and a scaled bar graph to represent a data set with several categories; solve one- and two-step 'how many more' and 'how many less' problems using information presented in scaled bar graphs (e.g., draw a bar graph in which each square in the bar graph might represent five pets)

3STE.C.16: solve two-step word problems using the four operations; represent these problems using equations with a letter standing for the unknown quantity; assess the reasonableness of answers using mental computation and estimation strategies including rounding; this standard is limited to problems posed with whole numbers and having whole number answers; students should know how to perform operations in the conventional order where there are no parentheses to specify a particular order (order of operations)
