In the app: https://ai.page/roadmap/mo-sci-grade-3 Part of: [Missouri: Science](https://ai.page/roadmap/mo-sci.md) Goal: Missouri academic standards: Science, Grade 3 ## 1. Engineering Design · Optimizing the Solution Process - [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. Engineering Design · Developing Possible Solutions - [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 ## 3. Engineering Design · Defining and Delimiting Engineering Problems - [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 ## 4. Earth and Human Activity · Natural Hazards - [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 ## 5. Earth's Systems · Weather and Climate - [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 ## 6. Heredity: Inheritance and Variation of Traits · Biodiversity and Humans - [Inheritance Vocabulary](https://ai.page/c/inheritance-vocabulary/index.md): Use vocabulary for variation and inheritance — inherited characteristic, acquired characteristic, variation, offspring, trait, species, breed, genetic, environment — and apply these when comparing organisms and explaining similarities and differences within and between species ## 7. Heredity: Inheritance and Variation of Traits · Adaptation - [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 ## 8. Heredity: Inheritance and Variation of Traits · Natural Selection - [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 ## 9. Heredity: Inheritance and Variation of Traits · Inheritance 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 ## 10. From Molecules to Organisms: Structure and Processes · Growth and Development of Organisms - [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 ## 11. From Molecules to Organisms: Structure and Processes · Structure and Function - [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 ## 12. Motion and Stability: Forces and Interactions · Types of Interaction - [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) ## 13. Matter and Its Interactions · Types of Interactions of Matter - [Heating & Cooling Changes](https://ai.page/c/heating-and-cooling-changes/index.md): Observe and describe that some materials change state when heated or cooled, and measure the temperature at which changes occur in degrees Celsius ## 14. Matter and Its Interactions · Structure and Properties of Matter - [Evaporation & the Water Cycle](https://ai.page/c/evaporation-and-the-water-cycle/index.md): Identify the role of evaporation and condensation in the water cycle, and associate the rate of evaporation with temperature ## Health: 0 of 100 Of its 15 own concepts: 0 have an explanation, 0 have practice, 0 have a measurement question, 0 have a checked version.
