Second Grade Next Generation Science Standards

Disciplinary Core Idea:

ESS2.C: The Roles of Water in Earth’s Surface Processes – Water is found in the ocean, rivers, lakes, and ponds. Water exists as solid ice and in liquid form (2-ESS2-3).

Performance Expectation:

2-ESS2-3 Obtain information to identify where water is found on Earth and that it can be solid or liquid.

Taking Pictures With the Sun!

Did you know there’s a way to make art using the light from the sun? It’s called a cyanotype, and Mister Brown is going to tell you all about how they work, and how to make your own!

Cause and Effect: Events have causes, sometimes simple, sometimes multifaceted. Deciphering causal relationships, and the mechanisms by which they are mediated, is a major activity of science and engineering.

Meet the Marsupials! | SciShow Kids

Teachers and parents: scroll down to check out the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) for this episode!

Squeaks and Jessi have been having fun learning all about Australia. Squeaks wants to know more about marsupials, the special group of animals that lives almost nowhere else. So Jessi introduces him to a special friend: Pinto the opossum!

First Grade Next Generation Science Standards

Disciplinary Core Ideas:

LS1.A: Structure and Function – All organisms have external parts. Different animals use their body parts in different ways to see, hear, grasp objects, protect themselves, move from place to place, and seek, find, and take in food, water and air (1-LS1-1).

LS1.B: Growth and Development of Organisms – Adult plants and animals can have young. In many kinds of animals, parents and the offspring themselves engage in behaviors that help the offspring to survive (1-LS1-2).

Performance Expectations:

1-LS1-1. Use materials to design a solution to a human problem by mimicking how plants and/or animals use their external parts to help them survive, grow, and meet their needs.

1-LS1-2 Read texts and use media to determine patterns in behavior of parents and offspring that help offspring survive.

Second Grade Next Generation Science Standards

Disciplinary Core Ideas:

LS4.D: Biodiversity and Humans – There are many different kinds of living things in any area, and they exist in different places on land and in water (2-LS4-1).

ESS1.C: The History of Planet Earth – Some events happen very quickly; others occur very slowly, over a time period much longer than one can observe (2-ESS1-1).

ESS2.B: Plate Tectonics and Large-Scale System Interactions – Maps show where things are located. One can map the shapes and kinds of land and water in any area. (2-ESS2-2)

Performance Expectations:

2-LS4-1. Make observations of plants and animals to compare the diversity of life in different habitats.

2-ESS1-1 Use information from several sources to provide evidence that Earth events can occur quickly or slowly.

2-ESS2-2 Develop a model to represent the shapes and kinds of land and bodies of water in an area.

What is a Satellite?

You might not know it, but there are thousands of human-made satellites orbiting the Earth! They help us do everything from study the climate to make phone calls, and there are even some satellites that people can live on!

Blue Whales: The Biggest Animal EVER! | SciShow Kids

Did you know that the biggest animal that ever lived is still alive today? Let’s learn all about what blue whales eat, where they live, and just how big they are, with Jessi and Squeaks!

Hosted by: Jessi Knudsen Castañeda (she/her/they/them)

Teachers and parents: scroll down to check out the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) for this episode!

First Grade Next Generation Science Standards

Disciplinary Core Idea:

LS1.A: Structure and Function – All organisms have external parts. Different animals use their body parts in different ways to see, hear, grasp objects, protect themselves, move from place to place, and seek, find, and take in food, water and air (1-LS1-1).

Performance Expectation:

1-LS1-1. Use materials to design a solution to a human problem by mimicking how plants and/or animals use their external parts to help them survive, grow, and meet their needs.

Second Grade Next Generation Science Standards

Disciplinary Core Idea:

LS4.D: Biodiversity and Humans – There are many different kinds of living things in any area, and they exist in different places on land and in water (2-LS4-1).

Performance Expectation:

2-LS4-1. Make observations of plants and animals to compare the diversity of life in different habitats.
