Science and Technology Update for Grade 2

From the pen of Mdme. Brusse:
 
In Science and Technology, Grade 2's are currently concluding the strand: UNDERSTANDING MATTER AND ENERGY: Properties of Liquids and Solids.


We have covered in great detail the topic of personal safety and the safety of others through studying safety labels and behaviours which ensure safety while working on experiments. Furthermore, we have examined states of matter: solids, liquids and gases, and performed a number of experiments to investigate the concepts of mixing, dissolving, absorbing, melting, separating and other interactions liquids and solids.
Our final part will be to examine floating and sinking through an in-class project.
 
Our assessment was through oral questioning, multiple choice testing and designing. Students work will be sent home for review at the end of the unit.
