In 3rd grade, students make the transition from the primary to intermediate grades where they experience a more robust curriculum. Throughout the year, students demonstrate their mastery of content material by creating projects.

As part of their current Science unit on Adaptations to Land and Water, students studied and compared habitats: woodland forest vs. dry grassland; tundra vs. desert; water. They showed their knowledge by creating a habitat in a jar. Their goal was to as accurately and realistically represent one of the habitats.
