Science
Grade 2 · Canadian Curriculum (General)
Grade 2 science studies growth and change in animals, the properties of liquids and solids, movement and simple machines, and air and water in the environment.
Children compare how different animals grow and change, investigate what happens when liquids and solids are combined, explore how things move using wheels, levers and ramps, and consider how air and water are used and why they must be protected.
