VA Science Bibliography - Second Grade

This collection supports the Virginia Standards of Learning and the second grade theme of Change occurs all around us. The curriculum framework presents the following grade level description. Science in second grade builds on previous understandings of forces, water, weather, and plants and animals, as students explore these concepts through the lens of change. They examine how water changes phase, how visible and invisible forces change motion, how plants and animals change through their life cycles, and how weather changes the Earth. Students also examine how change occurs over a short or long period of time.
