WV--Next Generation Content Standards and Objectives
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.
Measuring Motion
Pendulum Clock
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.
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.

Pond Ecosystem
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.
Flower Pollination
Honeybee Hive
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.
Effect of Environment on New Life Form
Growing Plants
Inheritance
Measuring Trees
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.
S.3.GS.13: represent data in tables and graphical displays to describe typical weather conditions expected during a particular season.
