COURSE DESCRIPTION
Science 2 encourages students to make sense of the world around them by observing and experimenting. Through focused readings and hands-on activities, students explore Earth and the matter that makes up its surface. They study the relationship between plants and animals through pollination and seed dispersion. They look deeply into several habitats on Earth and the plants and animals that live and grow there. Students examine and compare many different landforms and bodies of water. They research topics and formulate questions, make predictions, and then use scientific tools to observe and test their experiments. By recognizing patterns, solving problems, and identifying cause and effect, students develop the ability to make inferences and communicate their findings. This course includes a digital Parent and Teacher Guide that will help you support your student’s learning.

AUTO-GRADED COURSE
Auto-graded courses are self-paced, multimodal, and standards-aligned. Students progress independently and are assessed frequently through weekly checkpoints and Mastery Assessments. Upon submission of assessments, students receive immediate answers and feedback and can mark the completion of work via a completion button in the learning management system. These courses allow students to work at their own pace and spend the necessary time on course content to ensure mastery.
