Third Grade
Science: In third grade,
students learn that science is exciting, fun, and that there is a process to
follow.
Third graders learn at the beginning of the
year that isopods may look like insects when you uncover their hiding places
under rocks, but they're not. Isopods are relatives of crabs and lobsters
but they live on land. They are easy to raise and wonderful to observe.
Students learn all about isopods in a
hands-on environment. They collaborate in their thinking and observations
then draw conclusions. Documenting observations is an important part of
science. The scientific process guides their teaching and
learning.
Third graders are
learning the difference between solids, liquids and gases. These are also known as
the phases of matter. They watch teacher demonstrations to learn the differences
between physical and chemical changes.
