Part of: [Minnesota: Science](https://ai.page/roadmap/mn-sci.md)

Goal: Minnesota academic standards: Science, Grade 3

## 1. Grade 3 · Students will be able to use mathematics to represent physical variables and their relationships; compare mathematical expressions to the real world; and engage in computational thinking as 

- [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

## 2. Grade 3 · Students will be able to represent observations and data in order to recognize patterns in the data, the meaning of those patterns, and possible relationships between variables.

- [Sun, Moon, and stars](https://ai.page/c/sun-moon-and-stars-science/index.md): Use observations of the sun, moon, and stars to describe predictable patterns such as the sun rising and setting, the moon changing shape, and stars appearing at night

## 3. Grade 3 · Students will be able to read and interpret multiple sources to obtain information, evaluate the merit and validity of claims and design solutions, and communicate information, ideas, and ev

- [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

## 4. Grade 3 · Students will be able to engage in argument from evidence for the explanations the students construct, defend and revise their interpretations when presented with new evidence, critically ev

- [Drawing conclusions from evidence](https://ai.page/c/drawing-conclusions-from-evidence/index.md): Report on findings from enquiries using oral and written explanations, draw simple conclusions, make predictions, and suggest improvements

## 5. Grade 3 · Students will be able to apply scientific principles and empirical evidence (primary or secondary) to explain the causes of phenomena or identify weaknesses in explanations developed by the 

- [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

## 6. Grade 3 · Students will be able to develop, revise, and use models to represent the students' understanding of phenomena or systems as they develop questions, predictions and/or explanations, and comm

- [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
- [How We See Objects](https://ai.page/c/how-we-see-objects/index.md): Develop a model to describe that light reflecting from objects and entering the eye allows objects to be seen

## 7. Grade 3 · Students will be able to design and conduct investigations in the classroom, laboratory, and/or field to test students' ideas and questions, and will organize and collect data to provide evi

- [Classifying Materials](https://ai.page/c/classifying-materials/index.md): Plan and conduct an investigation to classify different kinds of materials by their observable properties

## 8. Grade 3 · Students will be able to ask questions about aspects of the phenomena they observe, the conclusions they draw from their models or scientific investigations, each other's ideas, and the info

- [Light & Seeing in the Dark](https://ai.page/c/light-and-seeing-in-the-dark/index.md): Observe that objects in darkness can be seen only when illuminated by a light source
