Science Grade 3

Elementary Science Grade 3 builds upon students’ preexisting knowledge across many types of sciences, including earth science, life science, and physical science. Students learn that the laws of science come from God and that we are expected to steward God’s creation, as we learn about and explore it. Students participate in science and engineering practices by asking questions, defining problems, developing and using models, planning and conducting investigations, analyzing and interpreting data, using mathematics and informational technology, constructing explanations, designing solutions, engaging in scientific arguments using evidence, and communicating results. All the while, students learn about God’s omniscience, recognizing that God is unchanging, even though His creation is not. A framework of active learning supports and allows students to engage, explore, explain, elaborate, and evaluate throughout the course. This dynamic format also helps students build a biblically accurate understanding of God’s Earth from hands-on experiences and discovery of new ideas.
