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

Goal: Nebraska academic standards: Science, Grade 3

## 1. Weather and Climate · Gather and analyze data to communicate an understanding of weather and climate.

- [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
- [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
- [Reading Weather Maps](https://ai.page/c/reading-weather-maps/index.md): Read and interpret weather maps, data tables, and graphs — identifying symbols for sun, rain, wind, and temperature; spotting trends and patterns in weather data over weeks, months, or seasons; and using data to make simple predictions

## 2. Inheritance and Variation: Life Cycles and Traits · Gather and analyze data to communicate an understanding of inheritance and variation of traits through life cycles and environmental influences.

- [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
- [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

## 3. Interdependent Relationships in Ecosystems · Gather, analyze, and communicate evidence of the interdependent relations in ecosystems.

- [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
- [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
- [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
- [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

## 4. Forces and Interactions: Motion and Stability SC.3.1.1 Gather, analyze, and communicate evidence of · Gather, analyze, and communicate evidence of forces and their interactions.

- [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
- [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)
- [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
