This year, 2nd grade will be using the STEELS (Science, Technology & Engineering, Environmental Literacy, and Sustainability) curriculum! STEELS is a hands-on, inquiry-based program that helps students explore science through real-world questions and investigations. Aligned with Pennsylvania’s new science standards, it encourages curiosity, problem-solving, and critical thinking.
Throughout the year, students will dive into three exciting units:
🔍 Exploring Land and Water
🧪 Properties of Matter
🌿 Organisms and Their Habitat
Each unit connects science to everyday life and inspires students to think like scientists as they observe, question, and investigate the world around them.
