Manitoba Grade 2 Science Curriculum Overview
Grade 2 science in Manitoba introduces students to the world around them through four main areas: living things and their environments, properties of materials and matter, daily and seasonal changes, and forces and movement. These foundational topics help students develop observation, questioning, and critical thinking skills they will carry into higher grades.
Key Topics in Grade 2 Science
- Living Things: Students learn to identify characteristics of living and non-living things, explore animal and plant habitats, and observe how living things grow and change.
- Materials and Matter: Students investigate the properties of different materials — hardness, texture, flexibility — and explore how materials can be changed or combined.
- Seasonal and Daily Changes: Students observe how weather, daylight, and temperature change through the seasons and how these changes affect plants, animals, and people.
- Forces and Movement: Students explore how pushes and pulls affect the way objects move, and discover how the shape and size of an object can change how it responds to force.
