In this unit, students will focus on decoding (reading) and encoding (spelling) one-syllable words with two or three phonemes (sounds). Students will read unchanging base words with suffixes (endings), including possessive (“-’s”), plural nouns (“-s”), and action words (“-s”) Students will decode and encode words with initial consonant clusters that include “s,” “r,” and “l” (example: “slip”) and read plural nouns with “-es”.

This Module is designed to give students additional practice, build knowledge and vocabulary while allowing students greater independence in their learning and an opportunity to gain mastery of the concepts taught in ILC ELA 5: Module 2 Researching to Build Knowledge and Teach Others, Biodiversity in the Rainforest

The labs module allows students to apply content-based, literacy lessons, and foundational reading and writing skills across curricular areas. In this module, students will learn about birds as they create, engineer, explore, and imagine. In the Create Lab, students will use a variety of materials and skills to create a realistic three-dimensional sculpture of a bird. In the Engineering Lab, students will use their knowledge of the function of bird body parts, specifically feathers, beaks, and feet, to design solutions to human problems. In the Explore Lab, students will learn more about bird bones and beaks as they try out a series of challenges using materials that simulate these specific parts of birds. In the Imagine Lab, students will learn more about birds through a study of poetry. Specifically, they will practice reading poetry fluently and use movement to represent what they learn about birds and their body parts.

In this unit, students will answer the essential question “What happens when waves interact with matter?”. The unit focuses on sound and light. Students will investigate, make observations, create questions and state claims supported by evidence about sound and light.

In this unit, students will be exploring the world of physical and chemical changes in chemistry. Students will develop a model to describe that matter is made of particles too small to be seen. Students will measure and graph quantities to provide evidence that regardless of the type of change that occurs when heating, cooling, or mixing substances, the total weight of matter is conserved. Students will make observations and measurements to identify materials based on their properties. Students will Conduct an investigation to determine whether the mixing of two or more substances results in new substances.

In this unit, students will answer the essential question “How can we make good choices based on what we know about the weather?”. Students will develop an understanding of how the Sun warms the Earth. Students will be able to make predictions about the weather based on observation. Students will use observations about local weather conditions to describe weather patterns over time. Students will investigate the purpose of weather forecasting to prepare for, and respond to, severe weather.

In this unit, students will answer the essential question “How can pushes and pulls cause objects to move?”. Students will explore the concepts of push and pull using phenomena or something that is new to them. Students will investigate how pushes and pulls impact the speed and direction of an object.

In this unit, students discover what is needed by both plants and animals in order for them to survive. Students will investigate plant growth and consider what is needed for animals to stay alive through thought experiments as they think about different animals in different environments/ecosystems. The unit concludes with students applying what they learned into a model for helping animals through an engineering challenge.

In this unit, students will answer the essential question “How do forces change the motion of objects?”. Students will be able to define what force is. Students will demonstrate their understanding of balanced and unbalanced forces. Students will make observations about force to identify patterns in motion and predict future motion. Students will be able to determine when a force is being applied to an object, even when applied over a distance (ie. magnetism/gravity).

In this unit, students will focus on the concept that everything is made of smaller things that we can describe and change. The Grade 2 Matter and Its Interaction modules are designed to address Science outcomes during a 30-minute Science block. A curriculum map and each unit overview provide specifics relating to learning goals.

In this unit, students answer the compelling question “Why is it important to know how to save or invest money for future needs?” Students will examine the value of money; explain the connection between labor and income; and learn how to be responsible with money.
