Grade 2 Science: Investigating Our World

A four-topic, inquiry-based Grade 2 Science learning path aligned with the Alberta Science Program of Studies and Calgary Board of Education expectations. Across approximately 60 instructional days, students investigate air, water, liquids, simple machines, and small animals through observation, questioning, experimentation, communication, and evidence-based conclusions.

Over approximately 15 days, students investigate air and water as important parts of the natural environment. They learn that air takes up space, can move objects, and affects weather and everyday activities. Students explore where water is found, how it changes through heating and cooling, and how people, animals, and plants depend on clean air and water. They practise making observations, recording results, identifying patterns, and discussing ways to conserve and protect these resources. Learning should include simple investigations and outdoor observations whenever possible.

Recommended Tasks
  • Conduct an investigation using balloons, paper, fans, and lightweight objects to observe that air takes up space and can cause movement. Students record predictions, observations, and conclusions.
  • Create a class water-cycle sequence using pictures or student drawings to show melting, freezing, evaporation, condensation, and precipitation.
  • Complete an air-and-water stewardship project, such as designing a classroom water-conservation poster or creating a list of actions that help keep local air and water clean.
