Part of: [Alabama: Science](https://ai.page/roadmap/al-sci.md)

Goal: Alabama academic standards: Science, Grade 2

## 1. Earth’s Systems

- [Shapes of land and water](https://ai.page/c/shapes-of-land-and-water/index.md): Develop a model to represent the shapes and kinds of land (mountains, valleys, plains) and bodies of water (rivers, lakes, oceans) in an area
- [Preventing Erosion](https://ai.page/c/preventing-erosion/index.md): Compare multiple solutions designed to slow or prevent wind or water from changing the shape of the land
- [Rapid earth changes](https://ai.page/c/rapid-earth-changes/index.md): Use information from several sources to provide evidence that Earth events can occur quickly (earthquakes, volcanic eruptions) or slowly (erosion, mountain building)
- [Where water is found on Earth](https://ai.page/c/where-water-is-found-on-earth/index.md): Identify where water is found on Earth and understand that water can exist as solid (ice) or liquid, recognising water in oceans, rivers, glaciers, and underground

## 2. Ecosystems: Interactions, Energy, and Dynamics

- [Habitats & Basic Needs](https://ai.page/c/habitats-and-basic-needs/index.md): Identify that most living things live in habitats to which they are suited and describe how habitats provide for basic needs and how organisms depend on each other
- [How Plant Parts Work](https://ai.page/c/how-plant-parts-work/index.md): Identify and describe the functions of different parts of flowering plants: roots absorb water and nutrients, stems transport materials, leaves make food, flowers enable reproduction
- [Pollination & Seed Dispersal](https://ai.page/c/pollination-and-seed-dispersal/index.md): Understand the life cycle of flowering plants including pollination, seed formation, and seed dispersal
- [How animals adapt to environments](https://ai.page/c/how-animals-adapt-to-environments/index.md): Identify how animals and plants are adapted to suit their environment and understand that adaptation may lead to evolution over time
- [What Plants Need to Thrive](https://ai.page/c/what-plants-need-to-thrive/index.md): Explore and compare the requirements of plants for life and growth: air, light, water, nutrients from soil, and room to grow

## 3. Matter and Its Interactions

- [Heating & Cooling Changes](https://ai.page/c/heating-and-cooling-changes/index.md): Observe and describe that some materials change state when heated or cooled, and measure the temperature at which changes occur in degrees Celsius
- [Taking Apart & Rebuilding](https://ai.page/c/taking-apart-and-rebuilding/index.md): Observe that an object made of a small set of pieces can be disassembled and made into a new object, understanding that the pieces still exist
- [Classifying Materials](https://ai.page/c/classifying-materials/index.md): Plan and conduct an investigation to classify different kinds of materials by their observable properties
- [Choosing the Right Material](https://ai.page/c/choosing-the-right-material/index.md): Identify and compare the suitability of everyday materials for particular uses, explaining why specific materials are chosen for specific purposes
