| The second grade science program incorporates readings and hands- on activities in three basic areas of science: Life Science Physical Science Earth Science |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| We start the school year with topics from the Life Sciences that second graders can relate to, themselves. The unit, What Makes Me Sick, dicusses how germs cause illnesses, how illnesses are spread, and most importantly, how to stay healthy. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| From there we move onto the unit, Interaction of Living Things. This unit investigates the needs of all living things, both plants and animals, and their adaptations to habitats. The effects of living things and natural forces on environments are also discussed. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
