In third grade, Science and Social Studies are all about exploring the world around us. Units are designed to spark curiosity, encourage critical thinking, and build real-world connections. In Science, students investigate topics like forces and motion, life cycles, weather, and environmental systems through hands-on experiments and observations. In Social Studies, students learn about communities, geography, government, and historical figures, while building skills in research, collaboration, and discussion. These subjects provide opportunities to ask questions, make discoveries, and understand how people and systems shape our world.
