The Second Grade Georgia Standards of Excellence for science 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 the, "How do you know?" and will attempt to answer that question.  Second graders will use whole numbers as well as basic fractions to identify and analyze scientific data.  They will explain to others how to solve numerical problems related to a science activity.  Second graders will follow safety rules.

Learning Targets and Success Criteria have been added to the units of study.
