K12-SCIENCE-CLASS-3

In accordance with Next Generation

State Standards Grade-3 science course covers many

types of science including physical science, biology, and

earth science. The students start by reviewing the parts

of plants and how they grow and change. Then they learn

some new information about cells, how materials move

through plants, and how plants reproduce. The students

then move onto studying animals, including how they are

grouped, how they use life-supporting substances, and

how animals grow and change. The students learn about

their senses and how their eyes, ears, nose, and taste buds

work. Students will then learn about ecosystems; what

they are, how they function, and how to protect them.

Next the students expand on previous knowledge gained

about how the Earth’s surface changes and the major

parts of our solar system. They are introduced to new

information about comets, asteroids, meteoroids, and the

contributions of Galileo Galilei to astronomy. The

students will then explore different types of energy such

as light, sound, heat, and electricity. Finally, the students

learn about the scientific method and use their

knowledge to design and conduct an experiment.
