3.PS1: : Matter and Its Interactions

3.PS1.A: : Structure and Properties of Matter

3.PS1.A.1: : Predict and investigate that water can change from a liquid to a solid (freeze), and back again (melt), or from a liquid to a gas (evaporation), and back again (condensation) as the result of temperature changes.

3.PS2: : Motion and Stability: Forces and Interactions

3.PS2.B: : Types of Interaction

3.PS2.B.1: : Plan and conduct investigations to determine the cause and effect relationship of electric or magnetic interactions between two objects not in contact with each other.

3.LS1: : From Molecules to Organisms: Structure and Processes

3.LS1.B: : Growth and Development of Organisms

3.LS1.B.1: : Develop a model to compare and contrast observations on the life cycle of different plants and animals.

3.LS3: : Heredity: Inheritance and Variation of Traits

3.LS3.A: : Inheritance of Traits

3.LS3.A.1: : Construct scientific arguments to support claims that some characteristics of organisms are inherited from parents and some are influenced by the environment.

3.LS3.B: : Natural Selection

3.LS3.B.1: : Use evidence to construct an explanation for how the variations in characteristics among individuals of the same species may provide advantages in surviving and finding mates.

3.LS3.C: : Adaptation

3.LS3.C.1: : Construct an argument with evidence that in a particular ecosystem some organisms—based on structural adaptations or behaviors—can survive well, some survive less well, and some cannot.

3.ESS2: : Earth's Systems

3.ESS2.D: : Weather and Climate

3.ESS2.D.1: : Represent data in tables and graphical displays to describe typical weather conditions expected during a particular season.

3.ESS2.D.2: : Obtain and combine information to describe climates in different regions of the world.

3.ESS3: : Earth and Human Activity

3.ESS3.B: : Natural Hazards

3.ESS3.B.1: : Make a claim about the merit of an existing design solution (e.g., levies, tornado shelters, sea walls, etc.) that reduces the impacts of a weather-related hazard.

3.ETS1: : Engineering Design

3.ETS1.A: : Defining and Delimiting Engineering Problems

3.ETS1.A.1: : Define a simple design problem reflecting a need or a want that includes specified criteria for success and constraints on materials, time, or cost.

3.ETS1.B: : Developing Possible Solutions

3.ETS1.B.1: : Generate and compare multiple possible solutions to a problem based on how well each is likely to meet the criteria and constraints of the problem.

3.ETS1.C: : Optimizing the Solution Process

3.ETS1.C.1: : Plan and carry out fair tests in which variables are controlled and failure points are considered to identify aspects of a model or prototype that can be improved.
