From habitats and food chains to the materials in their own classroom, Year 2 science asks children to look closely at the living and physical world. These Year 2 science worksheets cover the four National Curriculum units: living things and their habitats, plants, animals including humans, and uses of everyday materials.

Everything is aligned to the Key Stage 1 science programme of study for England, so the vocabulary — living, dead, never alive; germination; suitability of materials — matches what pupils hear in lessons. The sheets are designed to consolidate practical enquiry, not stand in for it, and diagrams and sorting tasks keep the reading load light for six and seven year olds.

Print a worksheet to close a unit, keep copies for retrieval practice a few weeks later, or set one as talk-about-it homework. All are free to download, and each can be opened in Chalkie to edit questions or regenerate the whole sheet around the habitats and examples your class actually studied.
