In the app: https://ai.page/roadmap/ma-sci-grade-2 Part of: [Massachusetts: Science](https://ai.page/roadmap/ma-sci.md) Goal: Massachusetts academic standards: Science, Grade 2 ## 1. Technology/Engineering · Engineering Design - [Comparing Design Solutions](https://ai.page/c/comparing-design-solutions/index.md): Analyse data from tests of two objects designed to solve the same problem to compare the strengths and weaknesses of each design ## 2. Physical Science · Energy - [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. Physical Science · 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 - [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 - [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 - [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 ## 4. Life Science · Biological Evolution: Unity and Diversity - [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 ## 5. Life Science · 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 - [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 ## 6. Earth and Space Sciences · 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 - [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 ## 7. History and Social Science and the Standards for Literacy (Pre-K - 5) - [Could there be another explanation?](https://ai.page/c/could-there-be-another-explanation/index.md): For any result, ask: is there another explanation? — the first explanation that fits isn't always the right one, and good scientists actively look for alternatives - [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 ## 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.
