In the app: https://ai.page/roadmap/ms-sci-grade-3 Part of: [Mississippi: Science](https://ai.page/roadmap/ms-sci.md) Goal: Mississippi academic standards: Science, Grade 3 ## 1. Earth and Space Science · Students will demonstrate an understanding that all materials, energy, and fuels that humans use are derived from natural sources. - [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 ## 2. Earth and Space Science · Students will demonstrate an understanding of how the Earth's systems (i.e., geosphere, hydrosphere, atmosphere, and biosphere) interact in multiple ways to affect Earth's su - [Earth's atmosphere](https://ai.page/c/earth-s-atmosphere/index.md): Develop a model to describe ways the geosphere, biosphere, hydrosphere, and atmosphere interact as connected Earth systems ## 3. Earth and Space Science · Students will demonstrate an understanding of the composition of Earth and the processes which change Earth's landforms. - [Fast & Slow Earth Changes](https://ai.page/c/fast-and-slow-earth-changes/index.md): Understand that Earth's surface changes: some changes are quick (eruptions, earthquakes) and some are slow (wind, water wearing away rock) - [Shapes of land and water](https://ai.page/c/shapes-of-land-and-water/index.md): Develop a model to represent the shapes and kinds of land (mountains, valleys, plains) and bodies of water (rivers, lakes, oceans) in an area ## 4. Earth and Space Science · Students will demonstrate an understanding of the various processes involved in the rock cycle, superposition of rock layers, and fossil formation. - [Types of rocks](https://ai.page/c/types-of-rocks/index.md): Use vocabulary for Earth's geological processes and rock types — igneous, sedimentary, metamorphic, erosion, weathering, deposition, fossil, sediment, strata, permeable, impermeable — and apply these when explaining how rocks form and how landscapes change over time - [How fossils form](https://ai.page/c/how-fossils-form-2/index.md): Identify evidence from patterns in rock formations and fossils in rock layers to support an explanation for changes in a landscape over time ## 5. Physical Science · Students will demonstrate an understanding of magnets and the effects of pushes, pulls, and friction on the motion of objects. - [Magnetic Materials](https://ai.page/c/magnetic-materials/index.md): Observe how magnets attract or repel each other and attract some materials and not others ## 6. Physical Science · Students will demonstrate an understanding of the physical properties of matter to explain why matter can change states between a solid, liquid, or gas dependent upon the addition o - [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 - [Matter Is Made of Particles](https://ai.page/c/matter-is-made-of-particles/index.md): Develop a model to describe that matter is made of particles too small to be seen, and that this explains properties of solids, liquids, and gases ## 7. Life Science · Students will demonstrate an understanding of how adaptations allow animals to satisfy life needs and respond both physically and behaviorally to their environment. - [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 ## 8. Life Science · Students will demonstrate an understanding that through reproduction, the survival and physical features of plants and animals are inherited traits from parent organisms but can also be - [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 - [Offspring resemble parents](https://ai.page/c/offspring-resemble-parents/index.md): Observe that young plants and animals resemble their parents but are not identical, recognising inherited similarities and individual differences ## 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.
