1 Week Focus TEK Activity-Five E Model 1-4 Introduction to Science Safety, Conservation of resources, Discovery Skills, What Scientists Do, Tools, Measurement 2 nd Grade Process Standards 2.1ABC, 2.2ABCDE, 2.3ABC, 2.4AB 5 Classifying Matter 2.5 A 6-7 Matter: Changes From Heat 2.5 B Engage- Students group their shoes by different properties. Explore- Students identify the physical properties of objects and classify those objects based on observable properties. Explain-Vocabulary: length, physical property, matter, solid, liquid, flexibility, mass, temperature, texture Elaborate-Open Ended questions Engage-Students predict and compare changes to wet paper when heat is applied and removed. Explore- Students discover what happens to the physical properties of crayons when heat is applied to them. Explain-Vocabulary: solid, liquid, melt, freeze

2 8 Physical Changes 2.5CD 9 Forms of Energy 2.6A Magnets 2.6B Engage- Students make physical changes (fold, cut, and/or color) to create paper airplanes. Explore- In this activity, students will combine materials to build structures and justify the selection of materials based on their physical properties. Explain-Vocabulary: physical property, combine, sanding Engage- Students observe how vibrating objects produce sound energy and discuss how energy can be increased or decreased. Explore- Students investigate how heat energy can change a materials state of matter, how light energy can change how an object appears, and how sound energy s vibrations can change depending on the volume. Explain-Vocabulary: light, energy, dim, bright, increasing, decreasing, investigate Engage- Students observe and identify the reaction of iron filings to an assortment of magnets. Explore- Students sort and compare items based on magnetic properties to determine which materials will help us in our everyday life. Explain-Vocabulary: magnet, attract, electric motor, repel,

3 12-13 Patterns of Movement 2.6CD 14 Rocks 2.7A Bodies of Water 2.7B Engage- Students examine the movements of paint-covered marbles over construction paper. Explore- Students trace changes in the position of an object over time in a variety of stations. Teacher may choose to complete the Explore activities in stations, or to complete each part in a separate class period. Explain-Vocabulary: movement, force, position, pattern Engage- Students discuss and observe physical characteristics of rocks via justified rock sorts. Students discuss about the different types of rocks and determine ways they can be grouped. Explore- Students observe, sort, and describe rocks based on their physical properties. Explain-Vocabulary: rock or mineral, texture, geologist, soil Engage- Students identify and compare the properties of natural sources of freshwater and saltwater by playing the SWAT game. Explore- Students identify and compare the properties of natural sources of freshwater and saltwater. Explain-Vocabulary: stream, river, lake, ocean/sea Evaluate-Pre/Post Assessment

4 17-18 Resources 2.7C Weather 2.8AB Water Cycle 2.8C Engage- Students distinguish between natural and manmade resources and develop a class definition of these resources. Explore- Students learn that man-made resources are used to make many items in our daily lives, but all can be traced back to natural resources on Earth. Explain-Vocabulary: resource, natural, manmade, wood, metal, paper, plastic Engage- Students identify the appropriate clothing for different types of weather. Explore- Students measure and record weather data over a two week period. Explain-Vocabulary: rain gauge, wind sock, thermometer, weather, pattern, data, precipitation Engage- Students identify the water cycle as the cause for why the Earths water is used over and over again. Explore- Students explore the processes of the water cycle, including evaporation, condensation, and precipitation, as connected to weather conditions. Explain-Vocabulary: clouds, cycle, precipitation, condensation, evaporation

5 24-25 Objects In The Sky 2.8D 26 Basic Needs 2.9C Engage- Students create a model to demonstrate the Moon moving through the night sky. Explore- Students observe objects in the sky both during the day at school and at night at home and record their data. Explain-Vocabulary: moon, stars Engage- Students identify the basic needs of plants animals. Explore- Students identify organisms basic needs and basic needs problems and solutions by playing a board game with various levels of questioning. Explain-Vocabulary: basic needs, air, water, sunlight, food, predict Environmental Effects 2.9 B Engage- Students compare dormancy and non-dormancy in bulbs and mealworms and identify factors in the environment that affect dormancy in plants Explore- students will identify and describe how plants and animals are affected by changes in temperature and precipitation. Explain-Vocabulary: Temperature, migration, Precipitation, Dormacy, Hibernation, Behavior, Environment, Growth, Science Rock, STEMscopedia, Scope Vocabulary Game, and Content

6 29-30 Food Chains 2.9C Animal Characteristics 2.10A Plant Characteristics 2.10B Engage- Students compare and give examples of the ways living organisms depend on each other. Explore- Students create food chains, as well as describe and compare how organisms depend on each other within a garden, park, beach, lake, and wooded area. Explain-Vocabulary: Organism, herbivore, carnivore, omnivore, predator, prey, energy, food chain. Science Rock, STEMscopedia, Scope Vocabulary Game, and Content Engage- Students observe and compare how physical characteristics of animals help them meet their basic needs. Explore- Students explore the different physical characteristics and behaviors that help animals thrive in their environment. Explain-Vocabulary: physical characteristics, behavior, basic need, Engage- Students review the parts of plants and their basic functions by playing 20 Questions. Explore- Students explore the different characteristics of plants and how they help the plant thrive and survive. Explain-Vocabulary : root, stem, flower, leaves, physical characteristics, basic needs,

7 35-36 Insect Life Cycle 2.10C Engage- Students observe and describe the life stages of a complete metamorphosis Explore- Students investigate and record some of the unique stages insects undergo during their life cycle. Students specifically observe a butterfly life cycle comparing it to other insect life cycles collected. Explain-Vocabulary: egg, larva, pupa, adult, stage, life cycle
