VOCABULARY AND THE AUTHOR’S PURPOSE THROUGH THE NATURE OF SCIENCE
The Scientific Method: TRYING TO WIN FIRST PLACE Making Models: PLANET STUDY IN MR. ROBINSON’S CLASS Using Empirical Evidence: SIR ISSAC NEWTON
SC.3.N.1.1
Raise questions about the natural world, investigate them individually and in teams through free exploration and systematic investigations, and generate appropriate explanations based on those explorations.
SC.3.N.3.2
Recognize that scientist use models to help understand and explain how things work.
SC.3.N.3.3
Recognize that all models are approximations of natural phenomena; as such, they do not perfectly account for all observations. Explain that science does not always follow a rigidly defined method (“the scientific method”) but that science does involve the use of observations and empirical evidence. Recognize and explain that scientists base their explanations on evidence. Keep records that describe observations made, carefully distinguishing actual observations from ideas and inferences about the observations.

MAIN IDEA/CHRONOLOGICAL ORDER THROUGH EARTH & SPACE SCIENCE PP. 32 - 33 The Size and pp. 34 - 41 Temperature of SC.3.E.5.1 Explain that stars can be different; some are smaller, some are larger, and some appear brighter than others; all except the Sun are so far Stars: away that they look like points of light. STAR LIGHT STAR BRIGHT The Sun Emits Energy: MY VERY OWN SOLAR SYSTEM The Distance of Stars: HOW FAR TO A STAR? Gravity: A LAW THAT CAN’T BE BROKEN Radiant Energy: A REAL SOLAR OVEN
SC.3.E.5.2
Identify the Sun as a star that emits energy; some of it in the form of light.
pp. 42 - 49
SC.3.E.5.3
Recognize that the Sun appears large and bright because it is the closest star to Earth.
pp. 50 - 57
SC.3.E.5.5
Investigate that the number of stars that can be seen through telescopes is dramatically greater than those seen by the unaided eye.
SC.3.E.5.4
Explore the Law of Gravity by demonstrating that gravity is a force that can be overcome.
SC.3.E.6.1
Demonstrate that radiant energy from the Sun can heat objects and when the Sun is not present, heat ma y be lost.
pp. 58 - 65
pp. 66 - 73
THEME, CAUSE/EFFECT, COMPARE/CONTRAST THROUGH PHYSICAL SCIENCE PP. 74 - 75 Temperature Measure and compare temperatures of various samples of solids and pp. 76 - 83 Changes: SC.3.P.8.1 liquids. THE MELTING POT Mass and Volume: TAKING MEASURE 2
SC.3.P.8.2
Measure and compare the mass and volume of solids and liquids.
Copying is strictly prohibited by law.
