Third Grade

Some details for Third Grade training (all are subject to change as the SDE continues to develop the training for this summer). 

Please click on the Science Registration link on the right side to register for summer training.  You will either register for Regular Summer Institute or Compressed or Crossover Training.  All registrations will receive a follow-up response from AMSTI-UNA to let you know which training dates to confirm you will attend this summer.   

AMSTI Unit Titles for Third Grade 

Year 1:  Heredity and Diversity Unit
  • FOSS Module:  Structures of Life
Year 1:  Weather and Climate Unit
  • FOSS Module:  Weather and Climate
  • GLOBE:  Max/Min Temperature
  • GLOBE:  Precipitation
  • GLOBE:  Wind Direction
Year 2:  Forces and Interactions Unit (semester long unit)
  • STC Module:  Motion and Design  
  • EIE Module:  The Attraction is Obvious: Designing Maglev Systems

Types of AMSTI Science Training for this Summer
  1. Regular AMSTI Summer Training:  This training is for teachers who have never been trained on AMSTI Science Kits.
  2. Compressed AMSTI Training:  This is for teachers who have been trained on AMSTI Science kits at a different grade level.
  3. Crossover AMSTI Training:  This is for teachers who are trained on kits that will remain at the current grade level.  All units in Third grade are new so teachers currently receiving third grade kits will complete the same training as compressed teachers.

If you like more specific details we have posted our flowchart to determine your training. 

Training information for previously trained AMSTI Science Teachers (this is the flowchart we will use to determine which type training you will need to attend)

The following flowchart is for teachers who have been through some type of AMSTI Science Training.  It can be used to help you know how many days of training and what type of training to expect.  If you have never had AMSTI Science training, you will attend Regular AMSTI Summer Training.
