Physical Science & Engineering

2-PS1-1    

• Plan and conduct an investigation to describe and classify different kinds of materials by their observable properties.

2-PS1-2    

• Analyze data obtained from testing different materials to determine which materials have the properties that are best suited for an intended purpose.

2-PS1-3    

• Make observations to construct an evidence-based account of how an object made of a small set of pieces can be disassembled and made into a new object.

2-PS1-4    

• Construct an argument with evidence that some changes caused by heating or cooling can be reversed and some cannot.

Life Science & Engineering 

2-LS2-1   

• Plan and conduct an investigation to determine if plants need sunlight and water to grow.

2-LS2-2    

• Develop a simple model that mimics the function of an animal in dispersing seeds or pollinating plants.

2-LS4-1    

• Make observations of plants and animals to compare the diversity of life in different habitats.

Earth and Space Science & Engineering

2-ESS1-1   

• Use information from several sources to provide evidence that Earth events can occur quickly or slowly.

2-ESS2-1 

• Compare multiple solutions designed to slow or prevent wind or water from changing the shape of the land.

2-ESS2-2    

•  Develop a model to represent the shapes and kinds of land and bodies of water in an area.

2-ESS2-3    

• Obtain information to identify where water is found on Earth and that it can be solid or liquid.
