3rd Grade
In the first nine week of third grade, we will learn Science Lab Rules and Safety and practice working in groups to build and solve challenges. Students will then explore the physical attributes and learn the differences between rocks and minerals. Next, we will group rocks based on physical attributes by using simple instruments. The following science unit will be about investigating fossils and non-fossils. They will put in order the steps needed to create a fossil and investigate fossils from the perspective of a paleontologist.
