Measure, test, and record physical properties, including temperature, mass, magnetism, and ability to sink or float.
Teachers can use 3.6A to sequence instruction on Measure/test properties of matter and monitor progress toward mastery.
Aligned tasks under 3.6A balance fluency and reasoning so students can explain decisions about Measure/test properties of matter.
Start with concrete or familiar examples, connect to prior knowledge, model a clear process, and provide checks for understanding aligned to 3.6A.
Standard 3.6A describes the essential skills and understandings for Measure/test properties of matter in Grade 3. It clarifies the learning outcomes and what successful work looks like.
It lays groundwork for the next grade by deepening accuracy and flexibility with Measure/test properties of matter, so students can tackle more complex problems later.
Use short exit tickets and tasks where students explain decisions, show multiple representations, or justify answers—directly aligned to 3.6A.
