To teach Position and Motion Changes to 3rd grade Science students, anchor the concept in a hands-on investigation or real-world phenomenon, then build academic vocabulary and scientific reasoning through guided practice. TEKS 3.7B asks students to plan and conduct a descriptive investigation to demonstrate and explain how position and motion can be changed by pushing and pulling objects such as swings, balls, and wagons. Crystal Instruction's free ClearLessons for 3.7B walk through this progression with modeling, guided practice, and built-in checks for understanding, while the ClearSheets provide scaffolded practice. You can download both free on this page.
TEKS 3.7B is a 3rd grade Science standard for Position and Motion Changes. It requires students to plan and conduct a descriptive investigation to demonstrate and explain how position and motion can be changed by pushing and pulling objects such as swings, balls, and wagons. It is part of the Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS) for Grade 3 Science.
You can download free TEKS 3.7B lessons and worksheets directly on this page — no login or account required. Crystal Instruction provides free PDF versions of our Position and Motion Changes ClearLessons and ClearSheets for Grade 3 Science, and each one is also available as an interactive lesson inside the full Crystal Instruction platform.
TEKS 3.7B (Position and Motion Changes) covers the following 3rd grade Science skills: students learn to plan and conduct a descriptive investigation to demonstrate and explain how position and motion can be changed by pushing and pulling objects such as swings, balls, and wagons. Free resources for this standard include Magnetism, Gravity, Force, Skill Builder: Magnetism, Skill Builder: Gravity.
Although Grade 3 Science is not directly tested on the Texas STAAR test, TEKS 3.7B builds the foundational skills students need for later STAAR assessments. Every Crystal Instruction ClearSheet for 3.7B is STAAR-aligned, and our ClearLessons are built to STAAR rigor using released STAAR test items, so students practice Position and Motion Changes at the depth STAAR expects.
