Discover! Science 2
Why do objects move? What is everything made of? How does the human body work? And what can the solar system teach us about our place in the universe? Discover! Science 2 helps second graders investigate these questions through engaging lessons, hands-on activities, and real-world connections.
This full-year homeschool curriculum explores the properties of matter, forces and motion, the solar system, Earth's changing landscapes, natural resources, plant and animal habitats, and the human body. Through colorful student worktexts, your child will read, observe, experiment, discuss, and apply new concepts in ways that encourage both understanding and curiosity.
The accompanying Instructor Guide provides lesson support, answer keys, assessments, pacing suggestions, and additional teaching ideas. Together, the worktexts and guide create an open-and-go program that is easy to implement while still providing meaningful science instruction.
Interactive activities throughout the course reinforce concepts and accommodate a variety of learning styles. As your child works through the lessons, he'll strengthen observation, critical thinking, and problem-solving skills while building a solid foundation in life, Earth, and physical science.
Designed specifically for homeschool families, Discover! Science 2 combines clear instruction, hands-on learning, and thoughtful review to help your child develop both scientific knowledge and the habits of mind that support lifelong learning.

Too advanced
Laura F.
The content in this science material sometime goes right over my 2nd grader's head. The vocabulary and writing prompts use advanced language that he doesn't understand. I do like thw reading portions and colored pictures and the quizzes are simple enough, but I prefer the simplified language of the old Building Blocks program, as well as the experiments from that program as well.

Struggle with Keeping Attention
Rachelle
I like that you can move through the curriculum quickly. This is a new curriculum for us. We really want to love it, but I struggle to keep my daughter's interest with it. The experiments are quick and easy to put together. It would be nice if there were videos that went along with each chapter.
