Earth And Space Science Grade 2

The activities in this book have two intentions: to teach concepts related to earth and space science and to provide students the opportunity to apply necessary skills needed for mastery of science and technology curriculum objectives. Throughout the experiments, the scientific method is used. In each section you will find teacher notes designed to provide guidance with the learning intention, the success criteria, materials needed, a lesson outline, as well as provide insight on what results to expect when the experiments are conducted. Suggestions for differentiation are also included so that all students can be successful in the learning environment. Topics covered include: Air, Water and Soil in the Environment. 96 Pages

Engage scientists in grades 4Ð6 and prepare them for standardized tests using Just the Facts: Earth and Space Science. This 128-page book covers concepts including rocks and minerals, weathering, fossils, plate tectonics, earthquakes and volcanoes. Other topics include oceans, the atmosphere, weather and climate, humans and the environment, and the solar system. It includes activities that build science vocabulary and understanding, such as crosswords, word searches, graphing, creative writing, vocabulary puzzles, and analysis. An answer key and a standards matrix are also included. This book supports National Science Education Standards and aligns with state, national, and Canadian provincial standards.

Connect students in grades 6 and up with science using Science Tutor: Earth and Space. This effective 48-page resource provides additional concept reinforcement for students who struggle in earth and space science. Each lesson in this book contains an Absorb section to instruct and simplify concepts and an Apply section to help students grasp concepts on their own. The book covers topics such as the layers of the earth, types of rock, how rock is formed, weather, the phases of the moon, and Earth’s place in the solar system. It also highlights key terms in the text and includes a recap of the metric system. The book supports National Science Education Standards.

Science, engineering, and technology permeate nearly every facet of modern life and hold the key to solving many of humanity's most pressing current and future challenges. The United States' position in the global economy is declining, in part because U.S. workers lack fundamental knowledge in these fields. To address the critical issues of U.S. competitiveness and to better prepare the workforce, A Framework for K-12 Science Education proposes a new approach to K-12 science education that will capture students' interest and provide them with the necessary foundational knowledge in the field. A Framework for K-12 Science Education outlines a broad set of expectations for students in science and engineering in grades K-12. These expectations will inform the development of new standards for K-12 science education and, subsequently, revisions to curriculum, instruction, assessment, and professional development for educators. This book identifies three dimensions that convey the core ideas and practices around which science and engineering education in these grades should be built. These three dimensions are: crosscutting concepts that unify the study of science through their common application across science and engineering; scientific and engineering practices; and disciplinary core ideas in the physical sciences, life sciences, and earth and space sciences and for engineering, technology, and the applications of science. The overarching goal is for all high school graduates to have sufficient knowledge of science and engineering to engage in public discussions on science-related issues, be careful consumers of scientific and technical information, and enter the careers of their choice. A Framework for K-12 Science Education is the first step in a process that can inform state-level decisions and achieve a research-grounded basis for improving science instruction and learning across the country. The book will guide standards developers, teachers, curriculum designers, assessment developers, state and district science administrators, and educators who teach science in informal environments.

Includes complete lesson plans that align with the Next Generation Science Standards, covering Earth's landforms and water (grades K-8), rock cycle and plate tectonics (grades 6-12), weather (grades K-8), and astronomy (grades 6-8).
