1 IDAHO STANDARDS GRADE 3 SCIENCE Harcourt Science 2000: Life Science (Units A and B), Earth Science (Units C and D) Physical Science (Units E and F) Students are expected to know content and apply skills from previous grades. Standard 1: Nature of Science Students apply scientific methods to conduct experiments. Students read and give multi-step instructions. Goal 1.1: Understand Systems, Order, and Organization 3.S Label the parts of a system. ( a) (system is defined by the State Dept. of Education as pieces that work together, or parts of a whole) Plant parts Food chain Energy pyramid Food web Layers of earth Water Cycle Solar System Eye Ear Nose Skin A7 B46-49 B50 B52-56 C8 D14-19 D56-65 R32 R32 R33 R33 Skeletal System Muscular System R34-35 R36-37 R38-39

2 Digestive System Circulatory System Respiratory System R40-41 R42-43 R44-45 Nervous System Goal 1.2: Understand Concepts and Processes of Evidence, Models, and Explanations The Science Process Skills are important inquiry tools and are essential for investigating the natural world. Opportunities for developing process skills are provided throughout Harcourt Science. The pages shown indicate where the process skills receive special emphasis. (Harcourt Science) 3.S Make observations, collect data and evaluate it. ( a) Make Observations A11, A19, A49, B5, B41, B47, C5, C11, C47, C67, C73, C87, D43, D67, D75, E5, E15, E45, F33 Collect Data B5, B11, C39, D29, D43, D67, D75, E5, E39, F57 Evaluate Data Compare Classify/Order Interpret Infer Draw Conclusions A5, C11, C93, D35, D67, D83, E21, F69 A33, C5, C93, D57, B5, B11, C39, D29, D43, D67, D75, E5, E39, F57 A19, B41, C73, C87,D29, D75, E45, F65 B11, C39, F43 3.S Replicate and/or use models. ( b) Replicate and/or use models A41, B19, B25, B47, B53, C19. C33, C47.

3 Goal 1.3: Understand Constancy, Change, and Measurement 3.S Measure changes that occur. ( b) Measure changes that occur Included in most hands-on investigation at the beginning of every lesson 3.S Measure in both U.S. Customary and International System of Measurement (metric system) units. ( c) Measure with a ruler or meter stick Measurement Systems Table Science Handbook R7 Science Handbook R10 Goal 1.4: Understand the Theory that Evolution is a Process that Relates to the Gradual Changes in the Universe and of Equilibrium as a Physical State Goal 1.5: Understand Concepts of Form and Function 3.S Describe the relationship between shape and use. ( a) This Objective falls outside the scope of Harcourt Science Goal 1.6: Understand Scientific Inquiry and Develop Critical Thinking Skills Each lesson begins with a hands-on investigation where the students use the tools and processes of scientific inquiry to meet the following objectives. 3.S Identify questions that can be answered by conducting scientific tests. ( a) 3.S Conduct scientific tests ( b) 3.S Use appropriate tools and techniques to gather and display data. ( c) 3.S Use data to construct a reasonable explanation. ( d) 3.S Make simple predictions based on data. ( e) 3.S Identify logical alternative explanations. ( f) 3.S Communicate the results of tests to others. ( g) Pages in Teacher s Edition showing charts that indicate where skills are given special emphasis A1b, B1b. C1b, D1b, E1b, F1b

4 Goal 1.7: Understand That Interpersonal Relationships Are Important in Scientific Endeavors Goal 1.8: Understand Technical Communication 3.S Read and give multi-step instructions. ( a) Standard 2: Physical Science Students use scientific instruments to describe the physical properties of the three states of matter. Goal 2.1: Understand the Structure and Function of Matter and Molecules and Their Interactions 3.S Use instruments to measure properties. ( a) Use instruments to measure properties E S Identify the physical properties of solids, liquids, and gases. ( b) Identify the physical properties of solids. Liquids, and gases D14-19, E S Explain that heating and cooling can cause changes of state in common materials. ( c) Explain that heating and cooling can cause changes of state in common materials E14-19, E36-49 Goal 2.2: Understand Concepts of Motion and Forces

5 Goal 2.3: Understand the Total Energy in the Universe is Constant 3.S Identify potential and kinetic energy. ( a) Goal 2.4: Understand the Structure of Atoms Goal 2.5: Understand Chemical Reactions Standard 3: Biology Students explore the diversity of plants and animals in their environments. Students demonstrate an understanding of food webs. Goal 3.1: Understand the Theory of Biological Evolution 3.S Describe the adaptations of plants and animals to their environment. ( a) Environments of living things B6-29 Food-getting adaptations B40-41 Goal 3.2: Understand the Relationship between Matter and Energy in Living Systems 3.S Describe the energy needed for living systems to survive. ( a) 3.S Compare and contrast the energy requirements of plants and animals. ( a) Energy for living systems B42-50 Compare and contrast the energy requirements of plants and animals A6-9, B S Label a food chain that shows how organisms cooperate and compete in an ecosystem. ( b)

6 Food chain B S Diagram the food web and explain how organisms both cooperate and compete in ecosystems. ( b) Food web B54-57 Goal 3.3: Understand the Cell is the Basis of Form and Function for All Living Things Standard 4: Earth and Space Systems Students explore the relationship between the sun and Earth.
