Matter and Its Interactions

• 2.PS1.1(Standard)

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

• 2.PS1.2(Standard)

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

• 2.PS1.3(Standard)

  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(Standard)

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

Ecosystems: Interactions, Energy and Dynamics

• 2.LS2.1(Standard)

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

• 2.LS2.2(Standard)

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

Biological Unity and Diversity

• 2.LS4.1(Standard)

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

Earth’s Place in the Universe

• 2.ESS1.1(Standard)

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

Earth’s Systems

• 2.ESS2.1(Standard)

  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 kind of land and bodies of water in an area.

• 2.ESS2.3(Standard)

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