In the app: https://ai.page/roadmap/az-sci-grade-2 Part of: [Arizona: Science](https://ai.page/roadmap/az-sci.md) Goal: Arizona academic standards: Science, Grade 2 ## 1. HISTORY · The development of civilizations, societies, cultures, and innovations have influenced history and continue to impact the modern world. - [Weather vs climate](https://ai.page/c/weather-vs-climate/index.md): Obtain and combine information to describe climates in different regions of the world, distinguishing between weather and climate ## 2. Geography · Examining human population and movement helps individuals understand past, present, and future conditions on Earth’s surface. - [Friction & Surfaces](https://ai.page/c/friction-and-surfaces/index.md): Compare how things move on different surfaces, noticing that some surfaces create more friction than others ## 3. Geography · Human-environment interactions are essential aspects of human life in all societies. - [Human impact on environments](https://ai.page/c/human-impact-on-environments/index.md): Use vocabulary for human impact on the environment — pollution, habitat destruction, deforestation, biodiversity, conservation, renewable energy, non-renewable energy, fossil fuel, carbon footprint, sustainability, endangered, extinct — and apply these when discussing environmental issues and human choices - [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 - [Geography & Local Weather](https://ai.page/c/geography-and-local-weather/index.md): Know that different places around the world have very different typical weather — tropical places are hot and wet all year, deserts are very dry, polar regions are freezing cold — and that geography (distance from the equator, altitude, nearness to the sea) affects local weather ## 4. Geography · The use of geographic representations and tools help individuals understand their world. - [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 ## 5. Disciplinary Skills and Processes · Historians and Social Scientists gather, interpret, and use evidence to develop claims and answer historical, economic, geographical, and political questions and co - [Drawing conclusions from evidence](https://ai.page/c/drawing-conclusions-from-evidence/index.md): Report on findings from enquiries using oral and written explanations, draw simple conclusions, make predictions, and suggest improvements ## 6. Life Sciences - [Energy from Food & the Sun](https://ai.page/c/energy-from-food-and-the-sun/index.md): Use models to describe that energy in animals' food was once energy from the sun, transferred through plants or other organisms - [What Living Things Need](https://ai.page/c/what-living-things-need/index.md): Understand what plants and animals (including humans) need to survive: water, food, air, and suitable conditions ## 7. Earth and Space Sciences - [Sun, Moon, and stars](https://ai.page/c/sun-moon-and-stars-science/index.md): Use observations of the sun, moon, and stars to describe predictable patterns such as the sun rising and setting, the moon changing shape, and stars appearing at night - [Changing Environments](https://ai.page/c/changing-environments/index.md): Recognise that environments can change and that this can sometimes pose dangers and challenges to living things - [Weather Forecasting & Safety](https://ai.page/c/weather-forecasting-and-safety/index.md): Ask questions to obtain information about the purpose of weather forecasting and how people prepare for and respond to severe weather - [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 - [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 ## 8. Physical Sciences - [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 - [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 ## Health: 0 of 100 Of its 16 own concepts: 0 have an explanation, 0 have practice, 0 have a measurement question, 0 have a checked version.
