OBJECTIVES

Identify and describe the function of plant structures. Explain how the different parts of a plant help it live and grow. Identify ingredients needed by a plant's leaves to make food. Illustrate the life cycle of a flowering plant. Compare and contrast similarities and differences among plants. Recognize the different ways that leaves help plants. Compare and contrast how roots and stems are alike and different. Observe parts of a seed and identify their roles. Investigate and identify what a seed needs to germinate or sprout. Explore why a seed does not need sunlight to germinate. Investigate that plants need the basic necessities of air, water, food and space. Investigate and describe a plant's reaction to the presence or absence of various stimuli such as heat, light, and gravity.

MATHEMATICS: MEASUREMENT AND DATA

MAFS.3.MD.1: Solve problems involving measurement and estimation of intervals of time, liquid volumes, and masses of objects.

BENCHMARK CODE

BENCHMARK

MAFS.3.MD.1.2

Measure and estimate liquid volumes and masses of objects using standard units of grams (g), kilograms (kg), and liters (l). (Excludes compound units such as cm^3 and finding the geometric volume of a container.) Note: Add, subtract, multiply, or divide to solve one-step word problems involving masses or volumes that are given in the same units, e.g., by using drawings (such as a beaker with a measurement scale) to represent the problem. (Excludes multiplicative comparison problems (problems involving notions of times as much.)

MAFS.3.MD.2: Represent and interpret data.

BENCHMARK CODE

BENCHMARK

MAFS.3.MD.2.4

Generate measurement data by measuring lengths using rulers marked with halves and fourths of an inch. Show the data by making a line plot, where the horizontal scale is marked off in appropriate units-- whole numbers, halves, or quarters.
