THIRD GRADE: OVERVIEW The academic standards for third grade establish the content knowledge and skills for Tennessee students necessary to prepare them for the rigorous levels of higher education and future job markets. The course provides students with a wealth of scientific practical experiences. The academic standards for science in third grade are based on research and the National Research Council’s Framework for K-12 Science Education. The academic standards herein establish the core content and practices of science and engineering, as well as what Tennessee students need to know by the end of third grade. Disciplinary core ideas for third grade include:

Third Grade

Physical Sciences (PS) Life Sciences (LS) Earth and Space Sciences

(ESS) Engineering, Technology, and Applications of Science (ETS)

Matter and Its Interactions From Molecules to Organisms: Structure and Process

Earth’s Place in the Universe Engineering Design

Motion and Stability: Forces and Interactions Energy

Ecosystems: Interactions, Energy, and Dynamics

Earth’s Systems Earth and Human Activity

Links Among Engineering, Technology, Science, and Society

Heredity: Inheritance and Variation of Traits

Applications of Science Waves and Their Applications in Technologies for Information Transfer

Biological Change: Unity and Diversity

By the end of third grade, students analyze internal and external structures that function supporting survival along with how they adapt to their environment. Students investigate the cause and effect relationships of magnets. Students experiment with static electricity and design a device that converts energy from one form to another. Students investigate and categorize the physical properties of planets. Students synthesize different forms of data to predict and learn about weather patterns, climates, different forms of water, and how different types of clouds all contribute to weather. Students learn about natural hazards and design and test solutions to minimize the impact of these.
