Practice weather and climate with this free, editable 3rd grade lesson. Aligned to the NGSS (3-ESS2), covering objectives such as: represent data in tables and graphical displays to describe typical weather conditions expected during a particular season. Created with Chalkie.ai.
This 3rd grade forces and interactions lesson is ready to present in class. Aligned to the NGSS (3-PS2), covering objectives such as: plan and conduct an investigation to provide evidence of the effects of balanced and unbalanced forces on the motion of an object. Made on Chalkie.ai.
Help your 3rd grade students explore life cycles with this editable lesson. Aligned to the NGSS (3-LS1), covering objectives such as: develop models to describe that organisms have unique and diverse life cycles. Sign up free to Chalkie.ai to adapt this for your class.
A NGSS-aligned 3rd grade lesson covering inheritance and variation (3-LS3), including objectives such as: analyze and interpret data to provide evidence that plants and animals have traits inherited from parents. Fully editable on Chalkie.ai.
Weather data, invisible forces, life cycles, and family traits: the NGSS gives 3rd grade a genuinely interesting year of science. These lessons cover the grade's core performance expectations — representing seasonal weather data in tables and graphs (3-ESS2), investigating balanced and unbalanced forces (3-PS2), modeling diverse life cycles (3-LS1), and interpreting evidence that traits are inherited (3-LS3).
The decks are structured around the science practices the standards actually name. Students do not just hear about forces; the slides set up an investigation and ask them to gather evidence. The weather lesson has the class building data displays, and the inheritance lesson centers on interpreting trait data.
Present these 3rd grade science lessons as designed, or adapt them first in Chalkie: use your city's real weather data, swap the organisms in the life cycles lesson, or add a claim-evidence-reasoning slide. Free to view, and a free account makes every slide editable.
