3.SI
Science as Inquiry (SI) 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.LES
Life and Environmental Science (LES) 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 (ETS)
