Assessment Exam - NGS - Grade 3| Physical Science | eTAP Lesson |
|---|---|
| Forces and Interactions | |
| Plan and conduct an investigation to provide evidence of the effects of balanced and unbalanced forces on the motion of an object.
NGS.3-PS2-1 |
Observing Relative Position |
| Make observations and/or measurements of an object’s motion to provide evidence that a pattern can be used to predict future motion.
NGS.3-PS2-2 |
Making Predictions Through Observations |
| Ask questions to determine cause and effect relationships of electric or magnetic interactions between two objects not in contact with each other.
NGS.3-PS2-3 |
Magnetic Force |
| Define a simple design problem that can be solved by applying scientific ideas about magnets.
NGS.3-PS2-4 |
Magnetic Poles |
| Life Science | eTAP Lesson |
| Interdependent Relationships in Ecosystems | |
| Construct an argument that some animals form groups that help members survive.
NGS.3-LS2-1 |
Animal Match |
| Analyze and interpret data from fossils to provide evidence of the organisms and the environments in which they lived long ago.
NGS.3-LS4-1 |
Fossils |
| 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.
NGS.3-LS4-3 |
Habitats |
| 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.
NGS.3-LS4-4 |
Where does this Plant Belong |
| Inheritance and Variation of Traits: Life Cycles and Traits | |
| Develop models to describe that organisms have unique and diverse life cycles but all have in common birth, growth, reproduction, and death.
NGS.3-LS1-1 |
Life Cycles |
| 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.
NGS.3-LS3-1 |
Plant Sort |
| Use evidence to support the explanation that traits can be influenced by the environment.
NGS.3-LS3-2 |
Plant Growth |
| 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.
NGS.3-LS4-2 |
Let it Grow Experiments |
| Earth and Space Science | eTAP Lesson |
| Weather and Climate | |
| Represent data in tables and graphical displays to describe typical weather conditions expected during a particular season.
NGS.3-ESS2-1 |
Weather Data Collecting |
| Life Science | eTAP Lesson |
| Obtain and combine information to describe climates in different regions of the world.
NGS.3-ESS2-2 |
|
| Make a claim about the merit of a design solution that reduces the impactsof a weather-related hazard.
