Science Lessons and Investigations - Grade 2
This year's science is all about asking questions, testing ideas, and seeing what happens. In fourteen NGSS-aligned units, your second grader will plant seeds to discover what plants need to grow, play the role of a pollinator, map land and water, model how wind and waves reshape the earth, investigate the properties of matter, and observe the effects of heating and cooling.
Each unit follows the 5E instructional model: Engage, Explore, Explain, Evaluate, and Extend. Along the way, students encounter hands-on activities, informative readings, vivid visuals, new vocabulary, and opportunities to write about what they've learned.
The result is a science program that encourages observation, experimentation, and critical thinking while helping children make meaningful connections between scientific concepts and the world around them.
Teacher support pages and a complete answer key are included for easy guidance and review.

The Science Lessons & Investigations series uses the 5E model—five simple steps that turn science into discovery.
- Engage – Start with a quick hook: a question, photo, or short activity that gets kids wondering and making predictions.
- Explore – Let him try it. Your child will investigate, test, and observe before anyone gives away the "answer."
- Explain – Your child shares what he's found, then you connect his discoveries to the right science words and concepts.
- Evaluate – Check for understanding with a drawing, a short explanation, or another quick task that shows what he's learned.
- Extend – Wrap it up by applying the concept to something new—maybe an experiment, model, or real-world problem.
It's a simple structure that keeps science active, interactive, and rooted in real thinking.
Review by Mom's Quest to Teach:
”Science can be both an exciting and a challenging subject to teach in one's homeschool. As parents, you get to curate your child's curriculum while you learn alongside them or share your own knowledge. One of the challenges I find is planning and following through with experiments and hands-on science learning. That is where Science: Lessons and Investigations comes into play.”

Review by One Luckey Wife:
”I would recommend these as a supplement to whatever curriculum you are using now. They do provide a lot of information.”

This book is simple and easy to follow. It’s organized neatly and to the point. It has activities and experiments that are fun and engaging. I do wish it could be in color though.
