1 THIRD GRADE: OVERVIEW The academic standards for third grade establish the content knowledge and skills for Tennessee students necessary to prepare them for the rigorous levels of higher education and future job markets. The course provides students with a wealth of scientific practical experiences. The academic standards for science in third grade are based on research and the National Research Council s Framework for K-2 Science Education. The academic standards herein establish the core content and practices of science and engineering, as well as what Tennessee students need to know by the end of third grade. Disciplinary core ideas for third grade include: Physical Sciences (PS) Life Sciences (LS) Earth and Space Sciences (ESS) Matter and Its Interactions From Molecules to Organisms: Structure and Process Earth s Place in the Universe Engineering, Technology, and Applications of Science (ETS) Engineering Design Motion and Stability: Forces and Interactions Energy Ecosystems: Interactions, Energy, and Dynamics Heredity: Inheritance and Variation of Traits Earth s Systems Links Among Engineering, Technology, Science, and Society Waves and Their Applications in Technologies for Information Transfer Biological Change: Unity and Diversity Earth and Human Activity Applications of Science By the end of third grade, students analyze internal and external structures that function supporting survival along with how they adapt to their environment. Students investigate the cause and effect relationships of magnets. Students experiment with static electricity and design a device that converts energy from one form to another. Students investigate and categorize the physical properties of planets. Students synthesize different forms of data to predict and learn about weather patterns, climates, different forms of water, and how different types of clouds all contribute to weather. Students learn about natural hazards and design and test s to minimize the impact of these. *TDOE Teacher Training Manual (TTM)
