In the app: https://ai.page/roadmap/la-sci-grade-2 Part of: [Louisiana: Science](https://ai.page/roadmap/la-sci.md) Goal: Louisiana 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 - [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 ## 2. Biological Evolution: Unity and Diversity - [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) - [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 ## 3. Ecosystems: Interactions, Energy, and Dynamics - [Plants and animals in their habitats](https://ai.page/c/plants-and-animals-in-their-habitats/index.md): Use a model to represent the relationship between the needs of different plants and animals and the places they live, connecting organism needs to habitat features - [What Plants Need to Grow](https://ai.page/c/what-plants-need-to-grow/index.md): Understand that plants need water, light, and a suitable temperature to grow and stay healthy ## 4. 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 - [Testing Materials for Uses](https://ai.page/c/testing-materials-for-uses/index.md): Give reasons, based on evidence from comparative and fair tests, for the particular uses of everyday materials including metals, wood, and plastic - [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 ## 5. EARTH’S PLACE IN THE UNIVERSE - [Fast & Slow Earth Changes](https://ai.page/c/fast-and-slow-earth-changes/index.md): Understand that Earth's surface changes: some changes are quick (eruptions, earthquakes) and some are slow (wind, water wearing away rock) ## 6. ECOSYSTEMS: INTERACTIONS, ENERGY, AND DYNAMICS - [Simple Food Chains](https://ai.page/c/simple-food-chains/index.md): Describe how animals obtain their food from plants and other animals, using the idea of a simple food chain, and identify different sources of food - [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 ## 7. MATTER AND ITS INTERACTIONS - [Irreversible Changes](https://ai.page/c/irreversible-changes/index.md): Explain that some changes result in the formation of new materials and are not usually reversible, such as burning, rusting, and reactions with acid - [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 - [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 ## Health: 0 of 100 Of its 17 own concepts: 0 have an explanation, 0 have practice, 0 have a measurement question, 0 have a checked version.
