2nd Grade Science Online-Full Year
Science 2 brings science alive by providing students with a combination of virtual lab investigations (with options for hands-on learning), interactive lessons, and an array of e-books that capture students’ attention and grow their interest in science. Students engage in science and engineering practices as they explore topics such as matter and its interactions, changes to the earth, and plants and animals. Throughout the course, students conduct investigations using digital tools and simulations. Some labs also include alternative investigations that use household materials.
This course calls for the following household materials, though they are optional, since digital versions of all labs are available:
· Science Notebook (required)
· pencil or pen (required)
· 3 plastic cups or jars (optional)
· water (optional)
· marker or pen (optional)
· tablespoon (optional)
· notebook paper (optional)
· 1/2 cup cornmeal or flour (optional)
*Students may also keep a digital Science Notebook.
