In the app: https://ai.page/roadmap/oh-sci-grade-3 Part of: [Ohio: Science](https://ai.page/roadmap/oh-sci.md) Goal: Ohio academic standards: Science, Grade 3 ## 1. Nature of Science (K-8) · Science is not static. Science is constantly changing as we acquire more knowledge. - [Science Can Be Revised](https://ai.page/c/science-can-be-revised/index.md): Scientific knowledge is provisional — it is the best current explanation based on available evidence, and it can and should be revised when better evidence arrives ## 2. Nature of Science (K-8) · Science has been, and continues to be, advanced by individuals of various races, genders, ethnicities, languages, abilities, family backgrounds and incomes. - [Could there be another explanation?](https://ai.page/c/could-there-be-another-explanation/index.md): For any result, ask: is there another explanation? — the first explanation that fits isn't always the right one, and good scientists actively look for alternatives ## 3. Nature of Science (K-8) · Science assumes the universe is a vast single system in which basic laws are consistent. Natural laws operate today as they did in the past and they will continue to do so in - [Asking scientific questions](https://ai.page/c/asking-scientific-questions/index.md): Ask simple scientific questions and recognise that they can be answered in different ways including observation, testing, and research ## 4. Physical Science - [Naming types of energy](https://ai.page/c/naming-types-of-energy/index.md): Name and use vocabulary for types of energy and energy transfer — kinetic energy, potential energy, heat energy, light energy, sound energy, electrical energy, chemical energy, stored energy, energy transfer, energy transformation — and describe energy changes in familiar situations using these terms - [Building an energy-converting device](https://ai.page/c/building-an-energy-converting-device/index.md): Apply scientific ideas to design, test, and refine a device that converts energy from one form to another - [Speed and energy](https://ai.page/c/speed-and-energy/index.md): Use evidence to construct an explanation relating the speed of an object to the energy of that object - [What happens when things collide](https://ai.page/c/what-happens-when-things-collide/index.md): Ask questions and predict outcomes about the changes in energy that occur when objects collide - [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 - [Solids, Liquids & Gases](https://ai.page/c/solids-liquids-and-gases/index.md): Compare and group materials as solids, liquids, or gases based on their observable properties and behaviour - [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 - [Volume & Vibrations](https://ai.page/c/volume-and-vibrations/index.md): Find patterns between the volume of a sound and the strength of the vibrations that produced it - [Measuring accurately](https://ai.page/c/measuring-accurately/index.md): Make systematic and careful observations, take accurate measurements using standard units and equipment including thermometers and data loggers - [Conservation of Mass](https://ai.page/c/conservation-of-mass/index.md): Measure and provide evidence that the total weight of matter is conserved regardless of the type of change (heating, cooling, or mixing) - [Accurate Measurement](https://ai.page/c/accurate-measurement/index.md): Take measurements with increasing accuracy and precision using a range of scientific equipment, taking repeat readings when appropriate - [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 ## 5. Life Science - [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 - [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 - [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 - [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 - [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 - [Seeds & Plant Growth](https://ai.page/c/seeds-and-plant-growth/index.md): Observe and describe how seeds and bulbs grow into mature plants through stages of germination and growth - [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 - [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 ## 6. Earth and Space Science - [Preventing Erosion](https://ai.page/c/preventing-erosion/index.md): Compare multiple solutions designed to slow or prevent wind or water from changing the shape of the land - [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 - [Properties of materials](https://ai.page/c/properties-of-materials/index.md): Compare and group different kinds of rocks based on their appearance and simple physical properties such as hardness, texture, and colour - [Rocks and soil](https://ai.page/c/rocks-and-soil/index.md): Recognise that soils are made from rocks and organic matter, and that different soils have different properties - [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 ## Health: 0 of 100 Of its 30 own concepts: 0 have an explanation, 0 have practice, 0 have a measurement question, 0 have a checked version.
