Welcome to the third grade! The students in this grade will polish their scientific method skills and really start to think like a scientist! The understanding the scientist can use the same process when solving different problems will build a strong academic foundation as they prepare for upper elementary science. Students will be challenged with more labs and setting up procedures including collecting and analyzing data. We will be doing hands-on lab as well as taking advantage of our science techbook's virtual labs! I encourage you to challenge your student at home and ask them what we are doing in class!
