2nd Grade
Second graders will experience hands-on science investigations in three units of the FOSS California program titled Pebbles, Sand & Silt, Balance & Motion and Insects & Plants.
Second grade examines and sorts rocks after identifying specific properties. Our unit, Pebbles, Sand and Silt, lays the foundation for further exploration of geology in 4th grade.
Students sort Earth material by size using screens. They learn different names for the classification of different sizes of rocks such as boulder, cobble, pebble, gravel, sand and silt.
