Course Description

Welcome to Grade 3 Science Course! This complete science course covers all of the major points taught across most schools in North America in third grade. The course consists of 35 video lessons, worksheets, worksheet review videos, answer keys, and tests. Each video lesson is about 10-12 minutes in length. Students have the opportunity to take notes during each lesson and then apply what they learned by completing a practice worksheet. The worksheet review video allows the student to check his or her answers and clarify any part that was missed. There is an answer key that parents can access for each worksheet. At the end of each lesson, there is a 4 question test to check the student's level of understanding.

This course is a great way to experience 3rd grade science. Students do not have to sit through long, boring lectures. Each video is short and to the point and allows students to be engaged by taking notes. The follow-up activities help the student to deepen their level of understanding, while having fun completing crossword puzzles, word scrambles, fill in the blank worksheets, and more. Students will get the chance to explore interesting science topics in this course.

Course Goals

Upon course completion, students will be prepared for a 4th grade science course. They will have a firm foundation of the topics that were taught in this 3rd grade science course. Students will want to continue learning about science and do more exploration and research of these topics on their own.

Target Audience

This video course is primarily intended for Grade 3 students (typically 8-9 years old). This course could also be used by Grade 4 students who need to review previously taught concepts.

Course Requirements

Students taking this course are expected to have understood and mastered the topics taught in a standard grade 3 science course. To reach this level of understanding, students would have completed the majority of the worksheets and tests correctly:

Worksheets (various number of questions): 75% - 89% = satisfactory 90% - 100% = mastery

Tests (4 questions): 75% = satisfactory 100% = mastery
