by

This complete unit will help you cover static electricity, magnetism, and cause and effect relationships in your 3rd grade science class!

This LARGE unit will save you tons of time and keep your class engaged!

If you use everything included and follow my suggested schedule, this unit will cover 8 days worth of lessons!

Students will learn about the cause and effect relationship between two objects not in contact with each other. Students will figure out ways to move objects that are not touching. They will ask questions to determine cause and effect relationships.

This resource includes five labs to meet the third grade standard for NGSS.

Ask questions to determine cause and effect relationships of electric or magnetic interactions between two objects not in contact with each other.

I am so impressed with this unit which manages to be distance learning and hands-on at the same time.  Really well thought out and engaging activities that allow students to practice each of the eight Science and Engineering Practices.  Really no prep for me!

The elephant article was excellent but I also thought the lab on dissecting a flower was broken down so easily, even telling me where to get inexpensive flowers!  This resource helped me teach this challenging standard in an engaging way.  Worth every penny!

My students loved this unit. I was able to present different elements of it throughout the month. It is hard to find interesting non-fictional, age-appropriate text for my students that they will enjoy. This was a great unit that aligned well for my students who have very different goals within the same group.
