Year 2 Students' Work 

  I don't have time to play games with you

 
Year 2 Units Of Excellence 2005
How can I be a scientist?

The clothes you wear, the food you eat, the water you drink, the pencil you write with, the toys that you play with - yep, science is everywhere! 

During this unit, children will discover just how submerged we are in the world of science each and every day. They will investigate the processes of working as a scientist when they engage in a variety of experiences and activities to test their own theories and solve various real-life problems.  Children will use everyday situations, devices and toys to investigate the amazing world of forces, motion and energy.

 

What will I be?

What makes me special? What do I have to offer an employer? What are my current roles/jobs? at school, at home, in the community?) Why do people work? What happens in the workplace? What’s in our community? What does it provide us? Who works in our community and how do they help us? How can we make our community a ‘better’ place? 

This unit sees the children investigate what makes a community. They will investigate many facets of community life and create a community of their own in both 2D and 3D form and justify the placement of collectively agreed agreed community components within their town.

 

Why the crazy weather?

When you woke up this morning the sun was shining and the birds were singing but now the sky is full of dark clouds and you are trudging home in the rain. - Why the crazy weather? 

During this unit children will investigate the ‘crazy’ changes that occur in the weather and how these conditions affect our Earth. They will collect field data using a variety of scientific methods and experiment with weather prediction and forecasting. Children will create various weather measuring devices modelled from real examples used by meteorologists.
