40 structured lessons. Lessons are grouped by subtopic.
Grade 2 science (2nd grade, ages 7–8) is 40 lessons in 5 units: Living Things and Their Needs (lessons 1–8), Earth and Weather (lessons 9–16), Matter and Energy (lessons 17–24), Human Body and Health (lessons 25–32), and finally Projects and Review (lessons 33–40), project work that brings the year together. Along the way, children learn to explain how wind forms when warm air rises and cooler air rushes in, explain that sound starts as a vibration and name the three food groups.
Start here: Lesson 1: Review Characteristics of Living Things is free to open and print. Every other lesson has a free preview of its mini lesson and vocabulary.
Paper first: each lesson is printed before you call your child. You read it once and talk it through, your child does the exercises on paper, and you correct together with the Parent checklist — about 45 minutes at the table. The next day, a 10-minute screen review of the same lesson.
