Description
Properties of Matter is an NGSS aligned Second Grade Matter Unit providing detailed lesson plans. The science unit is full of states of matter and properties of matter activities, including matter investigations. Perfect to guide you through teaching Matter to the Next Generation Science Standards for second grade!
Designed to be used as a matter interactive notebook, this Next Generation science unit has it all! It is a complete 2nd Grade NGSS aligned matter unit with detailed lesson plans including matter investigation guides, matter interactive notebook printables, graphic organizers, flippables, and foldables, as well as a Structure & Properties of Matter final assessment.
Anchor Charts and lessons for all Matter Physical Science (2-PS1-4) and Engineering Design (K-2-ETS1-3) *Next Generation Science Standards are included.
Throughout the matter unit, students will conduct and/or actively participate in five different matter investigations covering matter NGSS standards, engineering design, and more.
Each student’s matter notebook can be used as an anchor for the matter investigations, standards, and lessons taught, as well as a reference that can be used indefinitely.
It will serve as a place for students to document what they have learned about matter and to share their thinking in a fun and interactive way, using the matter flippables, foldables, and graphic organizers provided.
Although this matter unit was created to address the second grade science standards, the activities can be used effectively with first, third, or fourth graders or special intervention classes. It is sure be a FUN and ENGAGING unit for your junior states of matter scientists!
