Part of: [West Virginia: Science](https://ai.page/roadmap/wv-sci.md)

Goal: West Virginia academic standards: Science, Grade 3

## 1. Engineering, Technology, and Applications of Science

- [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
- [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
- [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. Earth and Space Science

- [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

## 3. Life Science

- [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
- [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
- [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
- [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
- [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
- [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. Physical Science

- [Gravity Pulls Things Down](https://ai.page/c/gravity-pulls-things-down/index.md): Understand gravity as a force that pulls objects towards the centre of the Earth, that 'down' means towards Earth’s centre regardless of where you stand on the sphere, and that gravity keeps the Moon orbiting Earth and planets orbiting the Sun
- [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)
- [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
- [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
