Demonstrate combining materials based on properties to create/modify objects and justify material selection.
Teachers can use 3.6D to sequence instruction on Select materials by properties and monitor progress toward mastery.
In Science, 3.6D defines what success looks like for Select materials by properties—from core skills to real‑world use.
Start with concrete or familiar examples, connect to prior knowledge, model a clear process, and provide checks for understanding aligned to 3.6D.
Standard 3.6D describes the essential skills and understandings for Select materials by properties 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 Select materials by properties, 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 3.6D.
