These standards-based kits are designed to specifically align with California's science curriculum. The included kit supplies and instructions combine for fun, hands-on activities that demonstrate the core science principles at each grade level. Through interactive inquiry, your child experiences a higher level of learning and information retention that they will thoroughly enjoy. The kits include all the materials needed to complete the curriculum activities. Written materials to accompany the kits are available online. Elementary kits have 2-4 activities per standard set (Life Science, Physical Science, etc.). All materials are packaged in a clear, durable storage tote.

The activities in the kit teach to these Grade 2 standards:
Physical Science
1.b Students know an object’s motion can be described by recording the change in position of the object over time.
1.c Students know the way to change how something is moving is by giving it a push or a pull. The size of the change is related to the strength, or the amount of force, of the push or pull.
1.d Students know tools and machines are used to apply pushes and pulls (forces) to make things move.
1.f Students know magnets can be used to make some objects move without being touched.
1.g Students know sound is made by vibrating objects and can be described by its pitch and volume.
Life Sciences
2.b Students know the sqeuential stages of life cycles are different for different animals, such as butterflies, frogs, and mice.
2.e Students know light, gravity, touch, or environmental stress can affect the germination, growth, and development of plants.
Earth Science
3.a Students know how to compare the physical properties of different kinds of rocks and know that rock is composed of different combinations of minerals
3.c Students know that soil is made partly from weathered rock and partly from organic materials and that soils differ in their color, texture, capacity to retain water, and ability to support the growth of many kinds of plants.
3.d Students know that fossils provide evidence about the plants and animals that lived long ago and that scientists learn about the past history of Earth by studying fossils.
