Second Grade Science



Second Grade

Here are the science units we will be learning about this year along with a few of the activities we will participate in to build our understandings! You can also view the Michigan Grade Level Content Expectations to see an overview of what your child will be learning!

S.IP.E.1 Inquiry involves generating questions, conducting investigations, and developing solutions to problems through reasoning and observation.

To work on our observation, data collection, and investigating we will participate in many hands-on projects during the year and will enter a project into our school's science fair! 

P.PM.E.1 Physical Properties- All objects and substances have physical properties that can be measured.

We will have so much fun exploring matter and working with it's properties!

 

P.PM.E.4 Material Composition- Some objects are composed of a single substance, while other objects are composed of more than one substance.

You will love learning about mixtures and solutions! We get to make a sorts of "concoctions" and determine if they are mixtures or solutions!

 L.OL.E.1 Life Requirements- Organisms have basic needs. Animals and plants need air, water, and food. Plants also require light. Plants and animals use food as a source of energy and as a source of building material for growth and repair.

L.OL.E.2 Life Cycles- Plants and animals have life cycles. Both plants and animals begin life and develop into adults, reproduce, and eventually die. The details of this life cycle are different for different organisms.

L.HE.E.1 Observable Characteristics- Plants and animals share many, but not all, characteristics of their parents.

We will explore plant life cycles, adult and young plants, and read tons of plant books! We'll even plant our own seeds, look at seeds, and make a "plant part salad"!

 

 

E.SE.E.2 Surface Changes- The surface of Earth changes. Some changes are due to slow processes, such as erosion and weathering, and some changes are due to rapid processes, such as landslides, volcanic eruptions, and earthquakes.

We will learn all about Earth's landforms and bodies of water- mountains, plateaus, plains, hills, streams, oceans, and more! We'll make models of landforms, jam to a landform rock song, and even make edible landforms!

 E.FE.E.1 Water- Water is a natural resource and is found under the ground, on the surface of the Earth, and in the sky. It exists in three states (liquid, solid, gas) and can go back and forth from one form to another.

E.FE.E.2 Water Movement- Water moves in predictable patterns.

We will study the water cycle and weather. You will LOVE learning about the water cycle! We'll get to see the water cycle in action, make water cycle bracelets, learn a water cycle song and dance, and have tons of fun learning about weather. We'll do "Cloudy With a Chance of..." projects, write weather list poems, and make pretty precipitation. I know you'll love it!
