S.3.GS: : General Science Content

(Framing Text): : Forces and Interactions

S.3.GS.1: : plan and conduct an investigation to provide evidence of the effects of balanced and unbalanced forces on the motion of an object.

S.3.GS.2: : make observations and/or measurements of an object’s motion to provide evidence that a pattern can be used to predict future motion.

S.3.GS.3: : ask questions to determine cause and effect relationships of electric or magnetic interactions between two objects not in contact with each other.

(Framing Text): : Interdependent Relationships in Ecosystems

S.3.GS.5: : construct an argument that some animals form groups that help members survive.

S.3.GS.6: : analyze and interpret data from fossils to provide evidence of the organisms and the environments in which they lived long ago.

S.3.GS.7: : construct an argument with evidence that in a particular habitat some organisms can survive well, some survive less well, and some cannot survive at all.

(Framing Text): : Inheritance and Variation of Traits: Life Cycles and Traits

S.3.GS.9: : develop models to describe that organisms have unique and diverse life cycles but all have in common birth, growth, reproduction, and death.

S.3.GS.10: : analyze and interpret data to provide evidence that plants and animals have traits inherited from parents and that variation of these traits exists in a group of similar organisms.

S.3.GS.11: : use evidence to support the explanation that traits can be influenced by the environment.

S.3.GS.12: : use evidence to construct an explanation for how the variations in characteristics among individuals of the same species may provide advantages in surviving, finding mates, and reproducing.

(Framing Text): : Weather and Climate

S.3.GS.13: : represent data in tables and graphical displays to describe typical weather conditions expected during a particular season.

S.3.GS.14: : obtain and combine information to describe climates in different regions of the world.
