Cambridge international schools Grade 3 science curriculum
The Grade 3 science outcomes we teach, in the curriculum's own words, with the lessons and practice pages for each. Pick an outcome code for the full list of lessons and printables.
Cambridge Primary Science (0097) and Lower Secondary Science (0893). Every lesson comes with a printable teacher guide and student sheet.
Stage 4, Ecosystems
4Be.03 Food chains are built from producers and consumers; consumers can be predators or prey (yarn food web; herbivore and carnivore labels are a quick add).
Lessons: Food Webs: Who Eats Whom?
Stage 4, Life processes
4Bp.03 Living things need energy; plants get theirs from light, animals from eating (where a plant gets its food).
Lessons: Food Webs: Who Eats Whom?
Stage 4, Changes to materials
4Cc.01 Explain freezing with the particle model (water freezing in the ice lesson).
Lessons: Solids, Liquids and Gases (Where does a puddle go?, Why does ice float?)
4Cc.02 A change of state is a physical change: the water is still there (the "missing" puddle water).
Lessons: Solids, Liquids and Gases (Where does a puddle go?, Why does ice float?)
Stage 4, Materials and their structure
4Cm.01 Use a particle model to describe solids and liquids.
Lessons: Solids, Liquids and Gases (Where does a puddle go?, Why does ice float?)
Stage 4, Electricity and magnetism
4Pe.01 A device only works when the circuit has no gaps (lighting a bulb with one wire).
Lessons: Simple Circuits: Make It Light Up
4Pe.02 Explain how a switch opens and closes a circuit (homemade burglar alarm switch).
Lessons: Simple Circuits: Make It Light Up
4Pe.03 Adding or changing parts in a series circuit makes a lamp brighter or dimmer (two bulbs in a row).
Lessons: Simple Circuits: Make It Light Up
4Pe.04 Sort materials into electrical conductors, mostly metals, and insulators (circuit tester hunt).
