Science 3

Students learn to observe and analyze through hands-on experiments, and gain further insight into how scientists understand our world. They observe and chart the phases of the moon, determine the properties of insulators and conductors, and make a three-dimensional model of a bone.


 * Weather - air pressure; ecipitation; clouds; humidity; fronts; forecasting
 * Vertebrates - features of fish, amphibians, reptiles, birds, and mammals
 * Ecosystems - climate zones; tundra, forests, desert, grasslands, freshwater, and marine ecosystems
 * Matter - phase changes; volume; mass; atoms; physical and chemical changes
 * Human Body - the musculoskeletal system; the skin
 * Energy - forms of energy; transfer of energy; conductors and insulators; renewable and nonrenewable energy resources
 * Light - light as energy; the spectrum; how the eye works
 * Astronomy - phases of the moon; eclipses; the solar system; stars and constellations; the Milky Way

Math 3

Third grade students continue to develop computational skills in addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division, and solve problems involving more complex mathematical concepts. Students will continue using a variety of methods to solve problems and begin their study of probability as chance.


 * Work with larger numbers and decimals
 * Study place value and estimating using rounding
 * Develop calculation skills using place value blocks to understand addition, subtraction, and regrouping
 * Establish fluency with simple addition, subtraction, division, and multiplication number facts
 * Study the basics of probability
 * Use graphs and charts to understand how data can be represented visually
 * Learn more about the basics of geometry
 * Use strategies for solving word problems fractions
