TEKS
§112.14. Science, Grade 3,
(8) Earth and space. The student knows there are recognizable patterns in the natural world and among objects in the sky [in the Sun, Earth, and Moon system] . The student is expected to:
(A) observe, measure, record, and compare day-to-day weather changes in different locations at the same time that include air temperature, wind direction, and precipitation;
(B) describe and illustrate the Sun as a star composed of gases that provides light and heat energy for the water cycle; [and]
(C) construct models that demonstrate the relationship of the Sun, Earth, and Moon, including orbits and positions ; and [.]
(D) identify the planets in Earth's solar system and their position in relation to the Sun.
