Part of: [Nebraska: Social studies](https://ai.page/roadmap/ne-ss.md)

Goal: Nebraska academic standards: Social studies, Grade 2

## 1. History · Develop historical inquiry and research skills.

- [Vocabulary: historical thinking](https://ai.page/c/vocabulary-historical-thinking/index.md): Know and use the vocabulary of historical thinking — source, evidence, primary source, secondary source, artefact, chronology, chronological order, BC/BCE, AD/CE, century, decade, era, period, timeline, excavation, archaeologist, interpretation, corroborate, bias, perspective — and apply these terms when discussing how we know about the past and how reliable our knowledge is

## 2. History · Compare multiple perspectives of events within neighborhoods.

- [Checking Sources Against Each Other](https://ai.page/c/checking-sources-against-each-other/index.md): Corroborate: check whether multiple sources agree on the same facts — and investigate why they might not

## 3. History · Recognize patterns of continuity and change over time in neighborhoods.

- [Similarities & Differences](https://ai.page/c/similarities-and-differences/index.md): Notice and appreciate ways that people are similar to and different from each other — including appearance, family structures, languages spoken, foods eaten, and celebrations observed — and understand that differences make communities interesting

## 4. Economics · Identify the goods and services governments provide.

- [Jobs People Do](https://ai.page/c/jobs-people-do/index.md): Different kinds of work people do; that people earn money by working; how jobs help the community; linking personal interests to possible jobs
- [Taxes & Public Services](https://ai.page/c/taxes-and-public-services/index.md): What taxes are and why people pay them; how taxes fund schools, hospitals, roads, and emergency services; that governments decide how to spend tax money
- [Goods & Services](https://ai.page/c/goods-and-services/index.md): Some people make things (goods) and some people do things for others (services); recognising both in everyday life and understanding that both have value

## 5. Economics · Describe how producers deliver products/services, earn an income, and satisfy economic needs and wants.

- [How the Economy Works](https://ai.page/c/how-the-economy-works/index.md): What an economy is; producers and consumers; supply and demand; why prices change; the basics of how markets work

## 6. Economics · Demonstrate knowledge of currency, its denominations, and use.

- [What Money Is](https://ai.page/c/what-money-is/index.md): What money is and why we use it; that money is exchanged for goods and services; brief history from barter to coins to digital payments

## 7. Economics · Evaluate choices about how to use scarce resources that involve prioritizing wants and needs.

- [Needs & Wants](https://ai.page/c/needs-and-wants/index.md): The difference between things we need (food, shelter, clothing) and things we want (toys, treats); that we sometimes have to choose because money is limited

## 8. Civics · Contribute to making decisions using democratic traditions based on established rules.

- [Vocabulary: ethics and citizenship](https://ai.page/c/vocabulary-ethics-and-citizenship/index.md): Know and use the vocabulary of ethics and citizenship — bullying, cyberbullying, bystander, upstander, peer pressure, digital citizenship, rights, responsibility, and ethical — and understand the distinctions between these closely related terms
- [Rules and agreements exist](https://ai.page/c/rules-and-agreements-exist/index.md): Understand why rules and agreements exist — that they help keep people safe, make things fair, and help groups work well together — and follow agreed rules willingly rather than only when being watched

## 9. Civics · Investigate and defend the responsibilities and rights of citizens in their communities.

- [Community Rights and Responsibilities](https://ai.page/c/community-rights-and-responsibilities/index.md): Understand their rights and responsibilities as a member of a community — that everyone has a right to be treated with respect and to feel safe, and that with rights come responsibilities to treat others the same way
