Gap document: Grade 3

Grade 3 Science

This supplemental document bridges the gap between what third grade students learn within the new Amplify Science curriculum and the Performance Expectations in the NYC PK-8 Science Scope and Sequence 2018. These lessons are designed to address the Performance Expectation: 3-ESS2-3 Plan and conduct an investigation to determine the connections between weather and water processes in Earth systems. This is the only Performance Expectation that is not addressed in the Amplify Science curriculum for third grade.
