• Relating addition and subtraction to each other as opposite operations and using the opposite operation to check for accuracy.

CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.3.NBT.A.2
Fluently add and subtract within 1000 using strategies and algorithms based on place value, properties of operations, and/or the relationship between addition and subtraction.

SCIENCE-

• Observing water in nature. What natural materials absorb water and what natural materials repel water?
• Investigating the effect of temperature on water.

ESS2.D: Weather and Climate

• Scientists record patterns of the weather across different times and areas so that they can make predictions about what kind of weather might happen next. (3-ESS2-1)
