Georgia Grade 3 Science Online Center
Georgia tests science in grades 5 and 8, not in grade 3, so third grade is the year to build the ideas the Georgia Milestones EOG Science will ask about later. Practice tests, skill quizzes, flashcards, and every Georgia science standard for this grade, free.

The full text of every grade 3 science standard in the Science Georgia Standards of Excellence. If your Georgia classroom or report card mentions a code, you will find it here.
S3E Earth and Space Science
- S3E1.aEarth Materials, Rocks, Fossils, and LandformsAsk questions and analyze data to classify rocks by their physical attributes (color, texture, luster, and hardness) using simple tests
- S3E1.bCarry Out Investigations Properties Color Texture Capacity RetainPlan and carry out investigations to describe properties (color, texture, capacity to retain water, and ability to support growth of plants) of soils and soil types (sand, clay, loam)
- S3E1.cEarth Materials, Rocks, Fossils, and LandformsMake observations of the local environment to construct an explanation of how water and/or wind have made changes to soil and/or rocks over time
- S3E2.aEarth Materials, Rocks, Fossils, and LandformsConstruct an argument from observations of fossils (authentic or reproductions) to communicate how they serve as evidence of past organisms and the environments in which they lived
- S3E2.bEarth Materials, Rocks, Fossils, and LandformsDevelop a model to describe the sequence and conditions required for an organism to become fossilized
S3P Physical Science
- S3P1.aEnergy Forms, Transfer, and TransformationAsk questions to identify sources of heat energy
- S3P1.bScientific Tools, Measurement, and Data DisplaysPlan and carry out an investigation to gather data using thermometers to produce tables and charts that illustrate the effect of sunlight on various objects

S3L Life Science
- S3L1.aOrganism Needs, Structures, and Life CyclesAsk questions to differentiate between plants, animals, and habitats found within Georgia's geographic regions
- S3L1.bOrganism Needs, Structures, and Life CyclesConstruct an explanation of how external features and adaptations (camouflage, hibernation, migration, mimicry) of animals allow them to survive in their habitat
- S3L1.cOrganism Needs, Structures, and Life CyclesUse evidence to construct an explanation of why some organisms can thrive in one habitat and not in another
- S3L2.aOrganism Needs, Structures, and Life CyclesAsk questions to collect information and create records of sources and effects of pollution on the plants and animals

Georgia Grade 3 English
Reading, writing, and language standards for Georgia grade 3, broken into short skill targets with practice for each one.
Georgia Grade 3 Science FAQ
Does Georgia test science in grade 3?
No. Georgia gives the Georgia Milestones EOG Science in grades 5 and 8, so grade 3 students do not sit a state science test this year. Georgia also gives a high school end-of-course test. The standards on this page are still the ones grade 3 teachers teach, and they are what the next science test builds on.
Which standards does grade 3 science in Georgia follow?
Georgia follows the Science Georgia Standards of Excellence, published by the Georgia Department of Education. All 13 of this grade's standards are listed further down the page with their official codes.
How long are the practice tests?
Each of the six practice tests has 25 questions and a 45-minute timer. The timer auto-submits at zero and you get your score, a breakdown by science area, and a written explanation for every question.
Is any of this free?
Yes, every practice test, quiz, and flashcard set on this page is free and needs no login. Your progress is saved in your own browser and nowhere else.
What is the fastest way to use this page?
Take practice test 1 cold. Look at the topic breakdown, pick the weakest science area, and do that skill quiz. Then read the quick review for that area and come back for practice test 2.
