Science.3.5.C

Previous Next
The student is expected to

use scale, proportion, and quantity to describe, compare, or model different systems;

A student expectation is directly related to the knowledge and skills statement, is more specific about how students demonstrate their learning, and always begins with a verb. Student expectations are further broken down into their component parts, often referred to as “breakouts.”

SCIENCE.3.5.C — Vertical Alignment

Vertical alignment shows student expectations in the same subject area at different grade levels that are related to or build upon one another.

Previous grade
S.K.5.C

describe the properties of objects in terms of relative size (scale) and relative quantity;

S.1.5.C

describe the properties of objects in terms of relative size (scale) and relative quantity;

S.2.5.C

measure and describe the properties of objects in terms of size and quantity;

S.3.5.C

use scale, proportion, and quantity to describe, compare, or model different systems;

S.4.5.C

use scale, proportion, and quantity to describe, compare, or model different systems;

S.5.5.C
use scale, proportion, and quantity to describe, compare, or model different systems;
S.6.5.C
analyze how differences in scale, proportion, or quantity affect a system's structure or performance;
S.7.5.C
analyze how differences in scale, proportion, or quantity affect a system's structure or performance;
S.8.5.C
analyze how differences in scale, proportion, or quantity affect a system's structure or performance;

SCIENCE.3.5.C — Breakout of skills

Breakouts are the component parts that make up a student expectation. A breakout shows a distinct concept a student should know or a distinct skill that a student should be able to demonstrate.

The student is expected to
use
proportion to describe, compare, or model different systems
quantity to describe, compare, or model different systems
scale to describe, compare, or model different systems

Cross-curricular Connections

The cross-curricular connections are designed to help educators make content connections between the science TEKS and math, English language arts and reading, social studies, and technology applications. The standards below illustrate alignment between grade level content areas which may help educators develop cross-curricular lessons. These connections do not represent all possible connections that might be made.

Math

Math.3.2.B describe the mathematical relationships found in the base-10 place value system through the hundred thousands place

Math.3.2.D compare and order whole numbers up to 100,000 and represent comparisons using the symbols >, <, or =

Math.3.3.C explain that the unit fraction 1/b represents the quantity formed by one part of a whole that has been partitioned into b equal parts where b is a non-zero whole number

Math.3.3.F represent equivalent fractions with denominators of 2, 3, 4, 6, and 8 using a variety of objects and pictorial models, including number lines

Math.3.3.G explain that two fractions are equivalent if and only if they are both represented by the same point on the number line or represent the same portion of a same size whole for an area model

Math.3.3.H compare two fractions having the same numerator or denominator in problems by reasoning about their sizes and justifying the conclusion using symbols, words, objects, and pictorial models

Technology Applications

TA.3.6.A analyze data in graphs to identify and discuss trends and inferences
