From classifying materials to comparing habitats, second grade science under NGSS is about looking closely at the world and describing what you find. These 2nd grade science worksheets cover four units: properties of matter (2-PS1), Earth's surface (2-ESS1), habitats and ecosystems (2-LS4), and engineering design (K-2-ETS1).
Students classify materials by their observable properties, gather evidence that Earth events can happen quickly or slowly, compare the diversity of life in different habitats, and define simple problems that could be solved with a new or improved tool. Each worksheet is built around its NGSS performance expectation, which is listed on this page.
Print them as the written component of an investigation, a science center task, or a quick end-of-unit check. Every worksheet is free to download with no payment. Teachers on Chalkie's free plan can also edit and regenerate any page, which is useful for matching the habitats or materials on the worksheet to the ones your class has actually observed.
