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

3-PS2-1: : Plan and conduct an investigation to provide evidence of the effects of balanced and unbalanced forces on the motion of an object.

3-PS2-2: : Make observations and/or measurements of an object’s motion to provide evidence that a pattern can be used to predict future motion.

3-PS2-3: : Ask questions to determine cause and effect relationships of electric or magnetic interactions between two objects not in contact with each other.

3-LS1: : From Molecules to Organisms: Structures and Processes

3-LS1-1: : Develop models to describe that organisms have unique and diverse life cycles but all have in common birth, growth, reproduction, and death.

3-LS2: : Ecosystems: Interactions, Energy, and Dynamics

3-LS2-1: : Construct an argument that some animals form groups that help members survive.

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

3-LS3-1: : 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.

3-LS3-2: : Use evidence to support the explanation that traits can be influenced by the environment.

3-LS4: : Biological Evolution: Unity and Diversity

3-LS4-1: : Analyze and interpret data from fossils to provide evidence of the organisms and the environments in which they lived long ago.

3-LS4-2: : 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.

3-LS4-3: : 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.

3-ESS2: : Earth’s Systems

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

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

3-ESS3: : Earth and Human Activity

3-ESS3-1: : Make a claim about the merit of a design solution that reduces the impacts of a weather-related hazard.
