Help your students measure, test, and record physical properties of matter — temperature, mass, magnetism, and the ability to sink or float — then combine materials for a purpose and justify their choices with this 15-page EduMagnet Grade 3 science comic—print-ready US Letter landscape PDF.

Grade band: Grade 3 physical science · Measuring properties of matter · Temperature in degrees Celsius · Mass versus size · Magnetism · Sink or float · Combining materials to build and improve

This comic is written for Grade 3 and is aligned to Texas TEKS Science 3.6A, 3.6D, 3.1D, and 3.1E. TEKS codes appear on the store listing only — they are not printed on the comic pages.

What’s included

• 15-page color comic PDF (US Letter landscape, print or project)
• Story pages covering physical properties we can measure and test; reading temperature in degrees Celsius with a thermometer; mass versus size on a balance; magnetism (not every metal is attracted); sink or float, including how shape can change the result; recording a full property table; combining materials for a purpose and justifying choices; building and improving a design (moving mass to the bottom for balance); why engineers and cooks measure first; a big idea; a try-this test-and-build activity; a quick review quiz with a flip-to-check answer key and a student design table; and a vocabulary glossary
• Vocabulary bars and kid-friendly science explanations throughout
• Circled page numbers for easy classroom navigation
• Animal cast only (Mr. Dot, Nova, Bloop, Gear)
• EduMagnet branding on the last page only (not on the cover)

How to use it

• Whole-class read-aloud or projector lesson to launch a properties-of-matter or design unit
• Science centers or literacy + science crossover reading
• Unit introduction or quick review before a measurement, sink-or-float, or materials-design activity or quiz
• Homeschool science reading — no prep: print or project and go
• Comics format supports visual and reluctant readers

Standards

• Texas TEKS Science (Grade 3): 3.6A, 3.6D, 3.1D, 3.1E — measure, test, and record physical properties of matter, including temperature, mass, magnetism, and the ability to sink or float; combine materials based on those properties to build or improve an object and justify the choices
• Grades: Grade 3 elementary physical science / properties of matter / measurement / design
• Subjects: Science, Physical Science, Measurement, Engineering Design, Reading

Perfect for introducing measurement and thoughtful building in a story-driven comic format. © EduMagnet — for one teacher / one classroom.
