In the app: https://ai.page/roadmap/fl-sci-grade-2 Part of: [Florida: Science](https://ai.page/roadmap/fl-sci.md) Goal: Florida academic standards: Science, Grade 2 ## 1. Interdependence - [Grouping Living Things](https://ai.page/c/grouping-living-things/index.md): Recognise that living things can be grouped in a variety of ways based on observable features - [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 - [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 ## 2. Heredity and Reproduction - [Animal Life Stages](https://ai.page/c/animal-life-stages/index.md): Recognise that animals, including humans, have offspring which grow into adults, and describe basic animal life stages - [Offspring resemble parents](https://ai.page/c/offspring-resemble-parents/index.md): Observe that young plants and animals resemble their parents but are not identical, recognising inherited similarities and individual differences - [Life Cycles of Organisms](https://ai.page/c/life-cycles-of-organisms/index.md): Develop models to describe that organisms have unique and diverse life cycles but all share the common stages of birth, growth, reproduction, and death ## 3. Organization and Development of Living Organisms - [Animal Body Groups](https://ai.page/c/animal-body-groups/index.md): Describe and compare the external body structure of common animals across groups (fish, amphibians, reptiles, birds, mammals) - [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 - [Skeletons & Muscles](https://ai.page/c/skeletons-and-muscles/index.md): Identify that humans and some other animals have skeletons and muscles for support, protection, and movement ## 4. Forces and Changes in Motion - [Gravity & Falling Objects](https://ai.page/c/gravity-and-falling-objects/index.md): Explain that unsupported objects fall towards the Earth because of the force of gravity acting between the Earth and the falling object - [Pushes & Pulls](https://ai.page/c/pushes-and-pulls/index.md): Understand that pushes and pulls are forces that can change the speed or direction of an object's motion, and compare the effects of different strengths and directions - [Magnetic Materials](https://ai.page/c/magnetic-materials/index.md): Observe how magnets attract or repel each other and attract some materials and not others ## 5. Forms of Energy - [What uses electricity at home](https://ai.page/c/what-uses-electricity-at-home/index.md): Identify common appliances that run on electricity and understand that electricity is a form of energy that powers devices in everyday life ## 6. Changes in Matter - [States of Matter Vocabulary](https://ai.page/c/states-of-matter-vocabulary/index.md): Name and distinguish the three states of matter — solid, liquid, and gas — using properties vocabulary: hard, rigid, runny, flows, keeps its shape, fills its container; use 'change of state' to describe what happens when materials are heated or cooled - [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 ## 7. Properties of Matter - [Temperature & Thermometers](https://ai.page/c/temperature-and-thermometers/index.md): Understand temperature as how hot or cold something is, that a thermometer measures temperature, and use words like hot, warm, cool, and cold to describe how the air feels on different days - [Changing Shapes of Solids](https://ai.page/c/changing-shapes-of-solids/index.md): Investigate how the shapes of solid objects can be changed by squashing, bending, twisting, and stretching - [Properties of materials](https://ai.page/c/properties-of-materials/index.md): Compare and group different kinds of rocks based on their appearance and simple physical properties such as hardness, texture, and colour ## 8. Earth Systems and Patterns - [Storm Safety](https://ai.page/c/storm-safety/index.md): Know basic storm safety: during thunder and lightning, go indoors or into a car, stay away from trees and water; understand that storms can be frightening but there are ways to stay safe - [Local weather patterns](https://ai.page/c/local-weather-patterns/index.md): Use and share observations of local weather conditions to describe patterns over time, recording temperature, rainfall, and other conditions - [Seasonal changes (age 8+)](https://ai.page/c/seasonal-changes-age-8/index.md): Represent data in tables and graphical displays to describe typical weather conditions expected during a particular season - [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 - [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 - [Rain & Puddles](https://ai.page/c/rain-and-puddles/index.md): Know that rain falls from clouds in the sky, that puddles disappear because water goes back into the air, and that this is part of how water moves around — up into the sky and back down again - [Sunlight warms things up](https://ai.page/c/sunlight-warms-things-up/index.md): Make observations to determine the effect of sunlight on Earth's surface, noticing that sunlight warms the ground, water, and objects - [Extreme Weather Events](https://ai.page/c/extreme-weather-events/index.md): Know about extreme weather events — hurricanes (spinning storms over warm ocean), tornadoes (violent rotating columns of air), floods, droughts, and blizzards — how they form, where they typically occur, and their effects on people and the environment - [Sun-Driven Weather Systems](https://ai.page/c/sun-driven-weather-systems/index.md): Understand how the Sun drives weather: the Sun heats Earth's surface unevenly (land heats faster than water, equator gets more heat than poles), creating differences in air pressure that cause wind patterns, ocean currents, and large-scale weather systems ## 9. Earth Structures - [Rocks and soil](https://ai.page/c/rocks-and-soil/index.md): Recognise that soils are made from rocks and organic matter, and that different soils have different properties - [Earth Is Made of Rock](https://ai.page/c/earth-is-made-of-rock/index.md): Understand that Earth is made of rock and other solid materials ## 10. The Practice of Science - [The Five Senses](https://ai.page/c/the-five-senses/index.md): Explore the five senses in detail: sight uses eyes to detect light, hearing uses ears to detect sound, touch uses skin to feel pressure and temperature, taste uses the tongue to detect flavours, and smell uses the nose to detect odours - [Asking scientific questions](https://ai.page/c/asking-scientific-questions/index.md): Ask simple scientific questions and recognise that they can be answered in different ways including observation, testing, and research - [Observing with simple equipment](https://ai.page/c/observing-with-simple-equipment/index.md): Observe closely using simple equipment such as hand lenses, and use observations to describe, compare, and identify things - [Simple tests and experiments](https://ai.page/c/simple-tests-and-experiments/index.md): Perform simple tests and use observations and ideas to suggest answers to questions ## Health: 0 of 100 Of its 33 own concepts: 0 have an explanation, 0 have practice, 0 have a measurement question, 0 have a checked version.
