1 Morgan County School District Re-3 Revised Nov Month August SECOND GRADE SCIENCE S.1.2 Ask questions and state predictions that can be addressed through a scientific investigation. S.1.3 Conduct simple experiments using tools and technology to gather data related to an investigation (for example, length, volume, and mass; and using measuring instruments, thermometers, microscopes, rulers, balances, calculators and computers.) Harcourt Test September S.1.4 Record data and use data based on observations to construct a reasonable explanation. INSECTS S.3.4 Identify the characteristics of an insect. S.3.4 Describe the stages of an insect s life. (egg, larva, pupa, adult) Label an insect diagram. Draw life stages of an insect. Collect insects from outdoors Butterfly Pavilion-field trip Supplemental literature S.3.4 Identify different insects.. Compare/Contrast paragraph.

2 October ANIMALS S.3.4 Identify similarities and differences in growth and development of animals S.3.5 Explain how organisms interact with each other and with nonliving parts of their habitat to meet their basic needs (for example food, water, air, shelter, space) Harcourt Ch. 2 Test Illustrate a food chain. Label food chain diagram. Harcourt Ch. 2 Denver Zoo-Field trip Scholastic Science kit- Plant & Animal Lifecycles November S.4 Earth and Space Science: Students know and understand the processes and interactions of Earth s systems and the structure and dynamics of Earth and other objects in space S.4.2 Identify the major features of Earth's surface (for example: mountains, rivers, plains, hills, oceans, plateaus) Introduce S.4.3 Know that the Earth s materials (rocks, soil, water) provide Identify landform and bodies of water pictures. Harcourt Ch. 5 Test Supplemental geography resources Harcourt Ch. 5 Scholastic Science Place

3 many of the resources that humans use and reuse Kit: Rocks & Soil Tie in with studies of Early Americans and Native Americans December S.4 Earth and Space Science: Students know and understand the processes and interactions of Earth s systems and the structure and dynamics of Earth and other objects in space S.4.4 Explain how our activities are affected by the daily weather and changing seasons (for example: types of clothing, travel plans, recreational activity) Draw pictures to illustrate the seasons. Trade books on seasons. Cut pictures from magazines/trip brochures/catalogs. S.4.5 Indicate that the Sun is the source of Earth's heat and light ```` Harcourt Ch. 11 Test Harcourt Ch. 11 January S.4 Earth and Space Science: Students know and understand the processes and interactions of Earth s systems and the S.4.6 Identify the objects that can be readily observed in the daytime and nighttime sky (for example: the Sun, Moon, Harcourt Ch. 8 Test Harcourt Ch. 8

4 structure and dynamics of Earth and other objects in space stars) February S.2 Physical Science: Students know and understand common properties, forms, and changes in matter and energy (physics and chemistry) S.2.1 Classify solids and liquids (matter) by physical properties (for example: size, shape, texture, flexibility, temperature, color and patterns) Harcourt Ch. 9 Test Harcourt Ch. 9 Scholastic Science Place Kit: Solid, Liquid, Gas S.2.2 Know that mixtures can be created and separated based on physical properties (for example: salt and sand, iron filings and soil, oil and water) Separate iron filings and soil with magnet. Separate salt/sand mixture using water. S.2.3 Describe that the only way to change the motion of an object is by pushing or pulling on it (force) Harcourt Ch. 13 Test Harcourt Ch. 13 March

5 S.3.3 Know that fossil evidence helps identify organisms that once lived on Earth but have completely disappeared (for example: dinosaurs, dodo bird, woolly mammoth and saber tooth tiger) Match dinosaurs skeletons to dinosaur names. Harcourt Ch. 5 Lesson 3 McGraw-Hill Reading Are You a Fossil Fan- TFK (Unit 5) Fossils Tell of Long Ago (Unit 5) April S.5 Students understand that the nature of science involves a particular way of building knowledge and making meaning of the natural world. S.5.1 Use basic observable patterns and changes in the world to predict future events based on those patterns (for example: seasonal weather patterns, day/night) Continue a pattern. Make a pattern. Harcourt Ch. 8 Lesson 2 & 4 Patterning (Math sources) May evaluate such investigations PLANTS S.3.4 Name basic needs of all plants. Introduce S.3.4 Identify the parts of a plant. Introduce S.3.4 Observe and draw several types of seeds. Introduce Harcourt Ch. 3 Test Label a plant diagram. Harcourt Ch. 3 Scholastic Science Place Kits: Plants
