Technology in Science: Where Plants and Animals Live: 87 Plants and Animals Living Together: 127 Changes in Matter: 303 The Solar System: 463 Science in Our Lives: 487 PHYSICAL SCIENCE Force and Motion K-7 Standard P.FM: Develop an understanding that the position and/or motion of an object is relative to a point of reference. Understand forces affect the motion and speed of an object and that the net force on an object is the total of all of the forces acting on it. Understand the Earth pulls down on objects with a force called gravity. Develop an understanding that some forces are in direct contact with objects, while other forces are not in direct contact with objects. P.FM.E.2 Gravity- Earth pulls down on all objects with a force called gravity. With very few exceptions, objects fall to the ground no matter where the object is on the Earth. P.FM Identify the force that pulls objects towards the Earth. Forces and Motion: , P.FM.E.3 Force- A force is either a push or a pull. The motion of objects can be changed by forces. The size of the change is related to the size of the force. The change is also related to the weight (mass) of the object on which the force is being exerted. When an object does not move in response to a force, it is because another force is being applied by the environment. P.FM Describe how a push or a pull is a force. Forces and Motion: , P.FM Relate a change in motion of an object to the force that caused the change of motion. Forces and Motion: , P.FM Demonstrate how the change in motion of an object is related to the strength of the force acting upon the object and to the mass of the object. Forces and Motion: , Grade Three

33 The Diamond Edition P.FM Demonstrate when an object does not move in response to a force, it is because another force is acting on it. Forces and Motion: , P.FM.E.4 Speed- An object is in motion when its position is changing. The speed of an object is defined by how far it travels divided by the amount of time it took to travel that far. P.FM Compare and contrast the motion of objects in terms of direction. Forces and Motion: , P.FM Identify changes in motion (change direction, speeding up, slowing down). Forces and Motion: , P.FM Calculate the speed of an object based on the distance it travels divided by the amount of time it took to travel that distance. Forces and Motion: Energy K-7 Standard P.EN: Develop an understanding that there are many forms of energy (such as heat, light, sound, and electrical) and that energy is transferable by convection, conduction, or radiation. Understand energy can be in motion, called kinetic; or it can be stored, called potential. Develop an understanding that as temperature increases, more energy is added to a system. Understand nuclear reactions in the sun produce light and heat for the Earth. P.EN.E.1 Forms of Energy- Heat, electricity, light, and sound are forms of energy. P.EN Identify light and sound as forms of energy. Energy: , , , , Sound: P.EN.E.2 Light Properties- Light travels in straight lines. Shadows result from light not being able to pass through an object. When light travels at an angle from one substance to another (air and water), it changes direction. 30 Grade Three

34 The Diamond Edition P.EN Demonstrate that light travels in a straight line and that shadows are made by placing an object in a path of light. Energy: P.EN Demonstrate what happens to light when it travels from water to air. (straw half in water looks bent). Energy: P.EN.E.3 Sound- Vibrating objects produce sound. The pitch of sound varies by changing the rate of vibration. P.EN Relate sounds to their sources of vibrations (for example: a musical note produced by a vibrating guitar string, the sounds of a drum made by the vibrating drum head). Sound: , P.EN Distinguish the effect of fast or slow vibrations as pitch. Sound: , Properties of Matter K-7 Standard P.PM: Develop an understanding that all matter has observable attributes with physical and chemical properties that are described, measured, and compared. Understand that states of matter exist as solid, liquid, or gas; and have physical and chemical properties. Understand all matter is composed of combinations of elements, which are organized by common attributes and characteristics on the Periodic Table. Understand that substances can be classified as mixtures or compounds and according to their physical and chemical properties. P.PM.E.5 Conductive and Reflective Properties- Objects vary to the extent they absorb and reflect light energy and conduct heat and electricity. P.PM Demonstrate how some materials are heated more than others by light that shines on them. Energy: Grade Three

35 The Diamond Edition P.PM Explain how we need light to see objects: light from a source reflects off objects and enters our eyes. Energy: LIFE SCIENCE Organization of Living Things K-7 Standard L.OL: Develop an understanding that plants and animals (including humans) have basic requirements for maintaining life which include the need for air, water and a source of energy. Understand that all life forms can be classified as producers, consumers, or decomposers as they are all part of a global food chain where food/energy is supplied by plants which need light to produce food/energy. Develop an understanding that plants and animals can be classified by observable traits and physical characteristics. Understand that all living organisms are composed of cells and they exhibit cell growth and division. Understand that all plants and animals have a definite life cycle, body parts, and systems to perform specific life functions. L.OL.E.3 Structures and Functions- Organisms have different structures that serve different functions in growth, survival, and reproduction. L.OL Describe the function of the following plant parts: flower, stem, root and leaf. Plants and How They Grow: 6-9, L.OL Identify and compare structures in animals used for controlling body temperature, support, movement, food-getting, and protection (for example: fur, wings, teeth, claws). How Animals Live: L.OL.E.4 Classification- Organisms can be classified on the basis of observable characteristics. L.OL Classify plants on the basis of observable physical characteristics (roots, leaves, stems, and flowers). Plants and How They Grow: L.OL Classify animals on the basis of observable physical characteristics (backbone, skin, shell, limbs, scales). How Animals Live: Grade Three

36 The Diamond Edition Evolution K-7 Standard L.EV: Develop an understanding that plants and animals have observable parts and characteristics that help them survive and flourish in their environments. Understand that fossils provide evidence that life forms have changed over time and were influenced by changes in environmental conditions. Understand that life forms either change (evolve) over time or risk extinction due to environmental changes and describe how scientists identify the relatedness of various organisms based on similarities in anatomical features. L.EV.E.1 Environmental Adaptation- Different kinds of organisms have characteristics that help them to live in different environments. L.EV Relate characteristics and functions of observable parts in a variety of plants that allow them to live in their environment (for example: leaf shape, thorns, odor, color). Plants and How They Grow: How Animals Live: 48-53, L.EV Relate characteristics and functions of observable body parts to the ability of animals to live in their environment (for example: sharp teeth, claws, color, body covers). Plants and How They Grow: How Animals Live: 48-53, EARTH SCIENCE Earth Systems K-7 Standard E.ES: Develop an understanding of the warming of the Earth by the sun as the major source of energy for phenomenon on Earth and how the sun s warming relates to weather, climate, seasons, and the water cycle. Understand how human interaction and use of natural resources affects the environment. E.ES.E.4 Natural Resources- The supply of many natural resources is limited. Humans have devised methods for extending their use of natural resources through recycling, reuse, and renewal. E.ES Identify natural resources (metals, fuels, fresh water, farmland, and forests).
