Science for Grade 3

Our Grade 3 Science activities on Kids Academy Classroom build on earlier knowledge and challenge learners to think critically about the natural world, forces, weather, and the relationship between humans and the environment. Children explore ecosystems, heredity, fossils, and natural hazards while continuing to practice observation, investigation, and problem-solving skills.

Core areas covered:

Animals

• Explore bird and insect structures

• Review animal concepts

Force and interactions

• Investigate magnets in everyday life

• Study patterns in motion

• Understand cause-and-effect interactions

• Learn about balance and stability

Organisms

• Explore plant and animal life cycles

• Discover adaptations for survival

• Learn about traits and heredity

• Study fossils as evidence of life in the past

• Deepen understanding of animal adaptations and habitats

Weather

• Recognize patterns in weather

• Identify natural hazards

• Learn strategies to reduce the impact of natural hazards

• Explore climate and its effects

Earth and human activity

• Learn what animals and plants need to survive

• Investigate human impact on the Earth

• Understand how to reduce, reuse, recycle, and rethink

• Celebrate Earth Day

Learning formats

• Worksheets to practice and reinforce science concepts

• Lessons for guided explanations and discovery

• Videos for visual engagement and demonstrations

This prepares Grade 3 learners to explore more complex scientific relationships, connect past evidence with present knowledge, and think about how human choices impact the Earth.
