In 2nd grade, we develop an understanding that life on Earth depends on energy from the Sun or energy from other organisms to survive. 

We will develop an understanding of the observable properties of matter and how changes in energy (heating or cooling) can affect matter or materials. 

We will develop an understanding of the distribution and role of water and wind in weather, shaping the land, and where organisms live. Wind and water can also change environments, and we learn humans and other organisms can change environments too.
