In the app: https://ai.page/roadmap/ar-sci-grade-3 Part of: [Arkansas: Science](https://ai.page/roadmap/ar-sci.md) Goal: Arkansas academic standards: Science, Grade 3 ## 1. Engineering, Technology, and Applications of Science - [Simple Design Problems](https://ai.page/c/simple-design-problems/index.md): Define a simple design problem reflecting a need or want that includes specified criteria for success and constraints on materials, time, or cost - [Comparing Possible Solutions](https://ai.page/c/comparing-possible-solutions/index.md): Generate and compare multiple possible solutions to a problem based on how well each is likely to meet the criteria and constraints - [Fair testing (age 8+)](https://ai.page/c/fair-testing-age-8/index.md): 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 ## 2. Inheritance and Variation of Traits: Life Cycles and Traits - [Inherited characteristics](https://ai.page/c/inherited-characteristics/index.md): Analyse 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 - [Variation & Survival Advantage](https://ai.page/c/variation-and-survival-advantage/index.md): Use evidence to explain how variations in characteristics among individuals of the same species may provide advantages in surviving, finding mates, and reproducing - [Traits: inherited and environmental](https://ai.page/c/traits-inherited-and-environmental/index.md): Use evidence to support the explanation that traits can be influenced by the environment as well as inheritance - [Life Cycles of Organisms](https://ai.page/c/life-cycles-of-organisms/index.md): Develop models to describe that organisms have unique and diverse life cycles but all share the common stages of birth, growth, reproduction, and death ## 3. Forces and Interactions - [Contact & Non-Contact Forces](https://ai.page/c/contact-and-non-contact-forces/index.md): Notice that some forces need contact between two objects (contact forces) while magnetic forces can act at a distance (non-contact forces) - [Balanced & Unbalanced Forces](https://ai.page/c/balanced-and-unbalanced-forces/index.md): Plan and conduct an investigation to provide evidence of the effects of balanced and unbalanced forces on the motion of an object - [Predicting Motion Patterns](https://ai.page/c/predicting-motion-patterns/index.md): Make observations and measurements of an object's motion to provide evidence that a pattern can be used to predict future motion ## 4. Interdependent Relationships in Ecosystems - [Changing Environments](https://ai.page/c/changing-environments/index.md): Recognise that environments can change and that this can sometimes pose dangers and challenges to living things - [Structures for Survival](https://ai.page/c/structures-for-survival/index.md): Construct an argument that plants and animals have internal and external structures that function to support survival, growth, behaviour, and reproduction - [Fossils as Evidence](https://ai.page/c/fossils-as-evidence/index.md): Analyse and interpret data from fossils to provide evidence of organisms and environments that existed long ago - [Animal Groups & Survival](https://ai.page/c/animal-groups-and-survival/index.md): Construct an argument that some animals form groups that help members survive, such as herds, packs, or colonies ## 5. Weather and Climate - [Designing for Weather Hazards](https://ai.page/c/designing-for-weather-hazards/index.md): Make a claim about the merit of a design solution that reduces the impacts of a weather-related hazard such as flooding, wind damage, or extreme temperatures - [Seasonal changes (age 8+)](https://ai.page/c/seasonal-changes-age-8/index.md): Represent data in tables and graphical displays to describe typical weather conditions expected during a particular season - [Weather vs climate](https://ai.page/c/weather-vs-climate/index.md): Obtain and combine information to describe climates in different regions of the world, distinguishing between weather and climate ## Health: 0 of 100 Of its 17 own concepts: 0 have an explanation, 0 have practice, 0 have a measurement question, 0 have a checked version.
