Class 2 Science (EVS K-5)
A hands on exploration of the natural and physical world designed for second grade learners. Students engage in inquiry based activities to understand life cycles, physical properties, and the interconnectedness of their environment.
01The Human Body and Growth
Students investigate how their bodies function and the changes that occur as they grow from infants to children.
Exploring how our eyes and ears collect information from the environment to keep us safe and informed.
Investigating how our skin, tongue, and nose help us interact with and understand the world around us.
Observing the physical changes that occur as humans progress from infancy to childhood.
Exploring how our abilities and skills develop as we grow, from crawling to running and learning.
An introduction to the heart and lungs and their vital roles in keeping us alive and active.
Tracing the path of food through our body and understanding how it gives us energy.
Exploring how our bones and muscles work together to provide support, movement, and protection.
Understanding the importance of balanced nutrition and regular physical activity for a healthy body.
02The Secret Life of Plants
An investigation into plant structures, their survival needs, and their diverse roles in the ecosystem.
Investigating the essential requirements of sunlight and water for plant growth.
Exploring the importance of soil and air for healthy plant development.
Identifying the main parts of a plant (roots, stem, leaves, flower) and their functions.
Comparing plants from various environments and identifying their unique adaptations.
Observing and identifying common plants found in the schoolyard or local park and their adaptations.
Understanding the various ways humans and animals depend on plants for food.
Exploring how plants provide shelter for animals and produce the oxygen we breathe.
Observing the stages of a plant's life, from a tiny seed to a mature plant with flowers and fruits.
03Animal Neighbors
A study of animal behaviors, habitats, and the ways animals adapt to their surroundings.
Examining why different animals build or choose specific types of shelters.
Exploring various animal homes like nests, burrows, and hives, and the animals that live in them.
Classifying animals based on their diets: plant-eaters, meat-eaters, and those that eat both.
Understanding how energy flows from the sun to plants and then to animals in a simple food chain.
Analyzing how physical features help animals move in different ways (walking, flying, swimming).
Exploring how animals use camouflage and other features to stay safe from predators.
Investigating how animals use different sounds to communicate with each other.
Identifying common animals found in the local environment and observing their behaviors.
04Air, Water, and Weather
Investigating the properties of air and water and how they interact to create weather patterns.
Discovering that air is invisible but occupies space and has properties we can observe.
Understanding the importance of clean air for our health and the environment.
Exploring different natural and man-made sources of water.
Understanding the importance of conserving water and ways to use it wisely.
A basic introduction to how water moves from the earth to the sky and back again.
Observing how weather changes daily and how it influences our clothing and activities.
Exploring the different seasons and how they impact plants, animals, and human activities.
Introduction to measuring temperature and understanding hot and cold.
05Materials and Objects
A study of the physical properties of materials and why we choose them for specific purposes.
Classifying everyday objects based on their hardness and softness.
Exploring materials that are shiny versus dull and their different uses.
Investigating materials that absorb water versus those that repel it.
Investigating different types of rocks found in the local environment.
Exploring the composition of soil and its importance for plants and animals.
Understanding the concept of 'reduce' and how to minimize waste in our daily lives.
Exploring creative ways to 'reuse' old objects instead of throwing them away.
Understanding the process of 'recycle' and why it is important to separate different materials.
06Sun, Moon, and Stars
Discovering the patterns of the sky and the relationship between the Earth and celestial bodies.
Exploring the sun as the primary source of light and heat for Earth.
Observing how the position of the sun changes our shadows throughout the day.
Understanding that the Earth's spinning causes the cycle of day and night.
Observing and recording the different shapes the moon appears to take over time.
Understanding that the moon's shape appears to change due to how much of it is lit by the sun.
Learning about stars as distant suns and why they appear as tiny points of light.
Learning about constellations and how people have used them for navigation and storytelling.
A basic introduction to the Earth, Moon, Sun, and other planets in our solar system.
