Science

The art of teaching is the art of teaching discovery.
~Mark Van Doren

Our third grade science units will be guided by the New York State Learning Standards, Standard 4 document that outlines the subject matter that students in New York State should know or be able to do at the elementary, intermediate, and commencement levels. There will also be cross-over with math and technology standards, as well as health related standards.

Standard 4, Science, is divided into study of the living environment and physical setting. We will begin the year with a unit on the study of buoyancy, which will pertain to content knowledge related to physical setting. Other units of study will be: solar system, weather, plants and animals, nutrition, and drug awareness.
