CCSD Science Year at a Glance
From the Georgia Standards of Excellence:
These science standards engage students in raising questions and seeking answers about the world around them by making observations and exploring phenomena. At the appropriate times, students will ask, "How do you know?" and will attempt to answer the question. They will use whole numbers as well as basic fractions (such as one-half and one-fourth) to identify and analyze scientific data. Second graders will find sums and differences of single digit numbers and then justify the answer. They will give rough estimates to problems and estimate lengths, weights, and time intervals. They will explain to others how to solve numerical problems related to a science activity.
