Goal: Iowa academic standards: Social studies, Grade 3

## 1. Political Science/Civic Literacy · Understand the role of the United States in current world affairs.

- [Global Trade](https://ai.page/c/global-trade/index.md): Why countries trade with each other; imports and exports; how goods travel around the world; that different countries use different currencies

## 2. Political Science/Civic Literacy · Understand how the government established by the Constitution embodies the enduring values and principles of democracy and republicanism.

- [Vocabulary: ethics and citizenship](https://ai.page/c/vocabulary-ethics-and-citizenship/index.md): Know and use the vocabulary of ethics and citizenship — bullying, cyberbullying, bystander, upstander, peer pressure, digital citizenship, rights, responsibility, and ethical — and understand the distinctions between these closely related terms

## 3. Political Science/Civic Literacy · Understand the rights and responsibilities of each citizen and demonstrate the value of lifelong civic action.

- [Community Rights and Responsibilities](https://ai.page/c/community-rights-and-responsibilities/index.md): Understand their rights and responsibilities as a member of a community — that everyone has a right to be treated with respect and to feel safe, and that with rights come responsibilities to treat others the same way

## 4. History · Understand cause and effect relationships and other historical thinking skills in order to interpret events and issues.

- [Vocabulary: historical thinking](https://ai.page/c/vocabulary-historical-thinking/index.md): Know and use the vocabulary of historical thinking — source, evidence, primary source, secondary source, artefact, chronology, chronological order, BC/BCE, AD/CE, century, decade, era, period, timeline, excavation, archaeologist, interpretation, corroborate, bias, perspective — and apply these terms when discussing how we know about the past and how reliable our knowledge is
- [Understanding People in Their Own Time](https://ai.page/c/understanding-people-in-their-own-time/index.md): Understand that people in the past saw the world very differently from us — judge their actions by the context they lived in, not only by today's values

## 5. History · Understand the role of innovation on the development and interaction of societies.

- [The world contains many cultures, traditions](https://ai.page/c/the-world-contains-many-cultures-traditions/index.md): Understand that the world contains many cultures, traditions, and belief systems, and that learning about others' perspectives enriches our own understanding — developing genuine curiosity about and respect for cultural diversity

## 6. History · Understand the effects of geographic factors on historical events.

- [Culture and Experience Shape Emotions](https://ai.page/c/culture-and-experience-shape-emotions/index.md): Understand that emotional responses are shaped by personal experiences, culture, and context — the same situation triggers different emotions in different people because of their backgrounds and past experiences

## 7. History · Understand the effect of economic needs and wants on individual and group decisions.

- [How the Economy Works](https://ai.page/c/how-the-economy-works/index.md): What an economy is; producers and consumers; supply and demand; why prices change; the basics of how markets work

## 8. History · Understand the role of individuals and groups within a society as promoters of change or the status quo.

- [Roles in a Group](https://ai.page/c/roles-in-a-group/index.md): Understand different roles people play in groups — leader, supporter, mediator, idea-generator — and recognise that effective groups need a mix of roles, not everyone trying to be the leader

## 9. History · Understand how and why people create, maintain, or change systems of power, authority, and governance.

- [Actions and Their Consequences](https://ai.page/c/actions-and-their-consequences/index.md): Understand that actions have consequences — that what you choose to do affects both yourself and other people — and begin to think about what might happen before they act

## 10. Economics · Understand the functions of economic institutions.

- [Banks & Saving](https://ai.page/c/banks-and-saving/index.md): What banks do and why people use them; bank accounts as safe places for money; that savings in a bank can earn interest; children's savings accounts

## 11. Behavioral Sciences · Understand current social issues to determine how the individual formulates opinions and responds to issues.

- [Questioning First Impressions](https://ai.page/c/questioning-first-impressions/index.md): Notice when your first reading of a social situation might be wrong — your assumptions about why someone acted a certain way are not always facts

## 12. Behavioral Sciences · Understand how personality and socialization impact the individual.

- [Prejudice and Discrimination](https://ai.page/c/prejudice-and-discrimination/index.md): Understand the impact of prejudice and discrimination on individuals and communities — that treating people unfairly because of their identity causes real harm — and recognise their own responsibility to stand against it
- [Your Impact on Others](https://ai.page/c/your-impact-on-others/index.md): Reflect on how your behaviour lands on others — consider not just what you intended but what the actual impact was on the other person

## 13. Behavioral Sciences · Understand the influences on individual and group behavior and group decision making.

- [Stereotypes and Individual Differences](https://ai.page/c/stereotypes-and-individual-differences/index.md): Recognise stereotypes — oversimplified beliefs about groups of people based on gender, race, age, or other characteristics — and understand that stereotypes are unfair because they ignore individual differences
- [Emotions and Decision-Making](https://ai.page/c/emotions-and-decision-making/index.md): Understand how emotions influence thinking and decision-making — that strong feelings can cloud judgement, that we often make different choices when calm versus when upset, and that recognising this gives us more control
- [Helping Others Resolve Conflicts](https://ai.page/c/helping-others-resolve-conflicts/index.md): Mediate conflicts between others — helping two friends who are arguing by listening to both sides, helping them see each other's perspective, and guiding them toward a fair resolution

## 14. Behavioral Sciences · Understand the changing nature of society.

- [Friendships change over time](https://ai.page/c/friendships-change-over-time/index.md): Understand that friendships change over time — that it's normal for friends to drift apart or for new friendships to form — and develop strategies for making new friends and handling friendship changes without feeling like something is wrong with them
