In the app: https://ai.page/roadmap/md-sci-grade-3 Part of: [Maryland: Science](https://ai.page/roadmap/md-sci.md) Goal: Maryland academic standards: Science, Grade 3 ## 1. Earth and Human Activity - [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 ## 2. Earth's Systems - [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 ## 3. Biological Evolution: Unity and Diversity - [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 - [How animals adapt to environments](https://ai.page/c/how-animals-adapt-to-environments/index.md): Identify how animals and plants are adapted to suit their environment and understand that adaptation may lead to evolution over time - [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 ## 4. Heredity: Inheritance and Variation of 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 - [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 ## 5. Ecosystems: Interactions, Energy, and Dynamics - [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 ## 6. From Molecules to Organisms: Structures and Processes - [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 ## 7. Motion and Stability: Forces and Interactions - [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 - [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 ## 8. Individual and Collective Responses to Environmental Change: Environmentally literate students construct and apply understanding of individual, collective, and societal responses to human-induced envi - [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 ## 9. Environmental Impact of Human Activity: Environmentally literate students construct and apply understanding of the environmental impact of human activities on Earth’s systems and resources. - [Human impact on environments](https://ai.page/c/human-impact-on-environments/index.md): Use vocabulary for human impact on the environment — pollution, habitat destruction, deforestation, biodiversity, conservation, renewable energy, non-renewable energy, fossil fuel, carbon footprint, sustainability, endangered, extinct — and apply these when discussing environmental issues and human choices ## 10. Human Dependence on Earth Systems and Natural Resources: Environmentally literate students construct and apply understanding of how Earth’s systems and natural resources support human existence. - [Habitats & Basic Needs](https://ai.page/c/habitats-and-basic-needs/index.md): Identify that most living things live in habitats to which they are suited and describe how habitats provide for basic needs and how organisms depend on each other - [Natural resources](https://ai.page/c/natural-resources/index.md): Obtain and combine information to describe that energy and fuels are derived from natural resources and that their uses affect the environment ## Health: 0 of 100 Of its 18 own concepts: 0 have an explanation, 0 have practice, 0 have a measurement question, 0 have a checked version.
