Grade Three (3)
Science Discipline/Component Earth and Space
Grade Level Standard At the end of Grade 3, learners can describe the functions of the different parts of the body and things
that make up their surroundings --- rocks and soil, plants and animals, the Sun, Moon and stars. They can
also classify these things as solid, liquid or gas. They can describe how objects move and what makes
them move. They can also identify sources and describe uses of light, heat, sound, and electricity.
Learners can describe changes in the conditions of their surroundings. These would lead learners
to become more curious about their surroundings, appreciate nature, and practice health and
safety measures.

Domain Standard Geology Learners will

describe what makes up their environment, beginning with the landforms and bodies of water found in
their community. Meteorology
Learners will describe the different
types of local weather. Astronomy
Learners will describe the natural objects that
they see in the sky.

The learners should be able to…

Performance Standard
 1. express their concerns about their surroundings through teacher-guided and self –directed activities;
2. express ideas about safety measures during different weather conditions creatively (through artwork,
poem, song); and
3. list down activities which affect their daily activities.

Content Standard The learners demonstrate understanding of...

1. people, animals, plants, lakes, rivers, streams, hills, mountains, and other landforms and their
importance;
2. types and effects of weather as they relate to daily activities, health and safety;
3. natural objects in the sky affect one's daily activities.
