3.SI
Science as Inquiry: Students build an understanding, through observation and experimentation, the foundations of science, the study of the structure and behavior of the physical and natural world God created using scientific inquiry.
3.LS
Life and Environmental Science: Students demonstrate an understanding of the characteristics and structure of all God’s creation: living things, the processes of life, and how God designed living things to interact with one another and the environment in which they live.Genesis 1.11 – 2.25 – Central theme: The world and all creation began with God.
3.PS
Physical Science: Students understand and demonstrate that properties of materials and energy change, can be observed, measured, and protected.
3.ES
Earth and Space Science: Students demonstrate an understanding of the characteristics and structures of earth and space. Genesis 1.1 – 2.25 – Central theme: The universe and all creation began with God.
3.ETS
Engineering and Technology Science
3.HS
Health Science: Students understand that the human body and its systems are a gift from God and all systems work intricately together. Internal and external factors influence growth and development and the structure and function of human body systems. Through scripture we know that God values our bodies and we should value our body and the bodies of others.

Health Promotion
3.LS.1.a
Know God created all living creatures to be fruitful and multiply (Gen 1:28-31)
3.LS.1.b
Understand all organisms have unique and diverse life cycles but all have, in common, birth, growth, reproduction and death (emphasis is on organisms)

Understand many characteristics of organisms are inherited from their parents
3.LS.3.b

3.LS.4.c
Use evidence to explain how variations in characteristics among individual of the same species may provide advantages and/or disadvantages in surviving, finding mates, and reproducing (i.e., plants with larger or smaller thorns)
3.LS.4.d

3.PS.2.a
Provides examples of electric and magnetic forces
3.PS.2.b
