Growth, resources, pushes and pulls, and changing materials: the four big ideas of Year 2 science, each with its own presentable slide deck. These Year 2 science lessons cover living things and growth, Earth's resources, forces and motion, and materials and change, matching the biological, earth and space, physical and chemical sciences of the Australian Curriculum v9.0.

Every deck lists the objectives it addresses and pairs clear teaching slides with observation prompts and short investigations, watching seeds sprout, testing pushes and pulls, or bending and stretching everyday materials. Students do the noticing; the slides carry the structure and vocabulary.

You can present each lesson as supplied or open it in Chalkie to adapt slides to your context, perhaps your school's water tank for the resources lesson or playground equipment for forces. Either way, a term of Year 2 science lessons is ready far sooner than if you built it yourself.
