Practice properties of matter with this free, editable 2nd grade lesson. Aligned to the NGSS (2-PS1), covering objectives such as: plan and conduct an investigation to describe and classify different kinds of materials by their observable properties. Created with Chalkie.ai.
This 2nd grade Earth's surface lesson is ready to present in class. Aligned to the NGSS (2-ESS1), covering objectives such as: use information from several sources to provide evidence that Earth events can occur quickly or slowly. Made on Chalkie.ai.
Help your 2nd grade students explore habitats and ecosystems with this editable lesson. Aligned to the NGSS (2-LS4), covering objectives such as: make observations of plants and animals to compare the diversity of life in different habitats. Sign up free to Chalkie.ai.
A NGSS-aligned 2nd grade lesson covering engineering design (K-2-ETS1), including objectives such as: ask questions, make observations, and gather information about a situation people want to change to define a simple problem that can be solved through the development of a new or improved tool. Fully editable on Chalkie.ai.
Can a mountain change overnight? Why does a pond hold different creatures than a desert? These 2nd grade science lessons put NGSS phenomena at the center: classifying materials by their observable properties (2-PS1), gathering evidence that Earth events can happen quickly or slowly (2-ESS1), comparing the diversity of life across habitats (2-LS4), and defining problems the engineering way (K-2-ETS1).
Each slide deck frames a question, guides an investigation or data-gathering activity, and ends with students explaining what they found. The engineering design lesson walks the class through asking questions, making observations, and defining a simple problem — the actual practice named in the ETS1 standard, not just vocabulary about it.
Preview these 2nd grade science lessons free, then adapt them in Chalkie: substitute materials you have on hand, add photos of local habitats, or split an investigation across two sessions. Editable slides mean the lesson meets your classroom, not the other way around.
