| Matter and Its Interactions |
|
2-PSI-1: I can talk about and organize different materials using my observations of the materials. I can observe things like color, texture, hardness, and flexibility. |
| I can observe things like color, texture, hardness, and flexibility. |
|
2-PSI-2: I can test different materials and use my observations to decide which materials are best for a given situation. |
|
2-PSI-3: I can observe, construct, and write about taking apart one object and making it into a new object. |
|
2-PSI-4: I can talk about why some changes caused by heating or cooling can be reversed and some cannot. I can support my thoughts with evidence. ACS.ORG Changes Caused by Heating and Cooling K5Learning Worksheets Material Properties- Reversible Changes |
| Ecosystems: Interactions, Energy, and Dynamics |
|
2-LS2-1: I can complete experiments to decide whether or not plants need sunlight and water to grow. YT Video Mighty Owl Do Plants Need Sunlight and Water to Grow? |
|
2-LS2-2: I can create a model that shows how animals are helpful in dispersing seeds or pollinating plants. Next Generation Science Standards Grade 2-Pollination and Seed Dispersal Activity |
| Biological Evolution: Unity and Diversity |
|
2-LS4-1: I can look at the animals and plants in different habitats to compare diversity. |
| Earth’s Place in the Universe |
|
2-ESS1-1: I can talk about events on Earth that occur quickly. I can talk about events on Earth that occur slowly. |
| Earth’s Systems |
|
2-ESS2-1: I can develop solutions that will slow or prevent wind or water from changing the shape of the land. YT Mighty Owl-Wind and Water Woosh- Weathering and Erosion Live Worksheets-Weathering, Erosion and Deposition Worksheet Links |
|
2-ESS2-2: I can create models that look like land and bodies of water in an area. |
|
2-ESS2-3: I can talk about where water is found on Earth. I can talk about where to find solid and liquid forms of water. |
| Engineering Design |
|
K-2-ETS1-1: I can find out about simple problems that people that I know want to change and figure out how to solve them. I can talk about how the problem can be fixed. I can talk about the solution that I have created and why it will help to solve the problem.

|
K-2-ETS1-2: I can create a drawing that shows how the shape of an object makes it work the way it is supposed to work. |
|
K-2-ETS1-3: I can compare two objects that were made to solve the same problem and talk about the strengths and weakness of both objects. |
