In 3rd Grade, students will:

-Investigate animal groups, fossil evidence of past environments, habitats and organisms survival, environmental change solutions, plant and animal life cycles, inheritance/variation of traits, environmental influences of traits, variation/survival/reproduction impact on living organisms.

-Study seasonal weather conditions, world climates, weather-related hazard solutions, and the water cycle.

Animal X-Rays

(Indoor Program)

Next Generation Science Standards:

3-LS3-1. Analyze and interpret data to provide evidence that plants and animals have traits inherited from parents and that variation of these traits exists in a group of similar organisms.

3-LS4-2. Use evidence to construct an explanation for how the variations in characteristics among individuals of the same species may provide advantages in surviving, finding mates, and reproducing.

Food Chain

(Indoor Program)

Next Generation Science Standards:

3-LS3-2. Use evidence to support the explanation that traits can be influenced by the environment.

Private Eye

(Indoor Program)

Next Generation Science Standards:

3-LS4-1. Analyze and interpret data from fossils to provide evidence of the organisms and the environments in which they lived long ago.

3-LS4-3. Construct an argument with evidence that in a particular habitat some organisms can survive well, some survive less well, and some cannot survive at all.

Fossils

(Indoor Program)

Next Generation Science Standards:

3-LS4-1. Analyze and interpret data from fossils to provide evidence of the organisms and the environments in which they lived long ago.

3-LS4-4. Make a claim about the merit of a solution to a problem caused when the environment changes and the types of plants and animals that live there may change.

Ecosystems

(Indoor Program)

Next Generation Science Standards:

3-LS4-4. Make a claim about the merit of a solution to a problem caused when the environment changes and the types of plants and animals that live there may change.

Animal Groups

(Indoor Program)

Next Generation Science Standards:

3-LS2-1. Construct an argument that some animals form groups that help members survive.

Life Cycles

(Indoor Program)

Next Generation Science Standards:

3-LS1-1. Develop models to describe that organisms have unique and diverse life cycles but all have in common birth, growth, reproduction, and death.

Adaptation

(Indoor Program)

Next Generation Science Standards:

3-LS4-3. Construct an argument with evidence that in a particular habitat some organisms can survive well, some survive less well, and some cannot survive at all.

Look-Alike

(Indoor Program)

Next Generation Science Standards:

3-LS3-1. Analyze and interpret data to provide evidence that plants and animals have traits inherited from parents and that variation of these traits exists in a group of similar organisms.

3-LS3-2. Use evidence to support the explanation that traits can be influenced by the environment.

3-LS4-2. Use evidence to construct an explanation for how the variations in characteristics among individuals of the same species may provide advantages in surviving, finding mates, and reproducing.

Starlab

(Indoor Program)

Description:

Learning about science through our inflatable, portable planetarium will bring plenty of “oohs” and “ahs.” More than that, it will inspire your students to engage in a better understanding of the world around them.

In the dome, you can travel through a world of knowledge that includes astronomy, geology, physical geography, and more. With StarLab, educators can be confident the curriculum meets current Next Generation Science Standards.

Nature Walk

(Outdoor Program)

Description:

Students will get a chance to experience an outdoor space to notice nature and increase observation skills. They will be presented with an opportunity and task to identify various items in nature and make connections with the environment that surrounds them.
