Science for Grade 2

Our Grade 2 Science activities on Kids Academy Classroom encourage learners to think like young scientists, exploring living things, matter, forces, ecosystems, and Earth systems through hands-on learning. Children build on their foundational knowledge by observing, experimenting, and connecting science concepts to the world around them.

• Learn what makes sound

• Explore light sources

• Investigate shadows

• Understand how people use sound to communicate

Plants

• Study the plant life cycle

• Review key plant concepts

Animals

• Explore bird and insect structures

• Review animal concepts

Force and interactions

• Learn how magnets are used in everyday life

• Investigate patterns in motion

Organisms

• Understand life cycles of plants and animals

• Explore animal and plant adaptations
