Welcome to the Sample Unit Progressions and corresponding resources for Grade 2. These optional resources were developed and identified by Oklahoma educators to support instruction aligned to the Oklahoma Academic Standards for Science (OAS-S) and are connected to the Grade 2 Bundled Standards Analyses. Recommendations are not intended to be an exhaustive listing of instructional possibilities.

Check out this Guide to the Sample Unit Progressions for more details about each component in the unit.

Unit 1 Information	Driving Question	Essential Questions	Standards
Unit 1: Matter (instructional resources) Suggested Timeline: 7-8 weeks Matter Bundle Analysis	How can we describe and use the materials in our world?	How can matter be identified by its properties? How can the properties of matter affect the use of the material? How can different objects be built from the same set of pieces? How is matter affected by heating and cooling?	2.PS1.1 Plan and conduct an investigation to describe and classify different kinds of materials by their observable properties. 2.PS1.2 Analyze data obtained from testing different materials to determine which materials have the properties that are best suited for an intended purpose.* 2.PS1.3 Make observations to construct an evidence-based account of how an object made of a small set of pieces can be disassembled and made into a new object. 2.PS1.4 Construct an argument with evidence that some changes caused by heating or cooling can be reversed and some cannot.

Unit 2 Information	Driving Question	Essential Questions	Standards
Unit 2: Physical Maps (instructional resources) Suggested Timeline: 2-4 weeks Physical Maps Bundle Analysis	How is a map similar and different from the places it represents?	How do maps help us find where different kinds of land and bodies of water are located? How do we represent the shapes and kinds of land and bodies of water in an area?	2.ESS2.2 Develop a model to represent the shapes and kind of land and bodies of water in an area.

Unit 3 Information	Driving Question	Essential Questions	Standards
Unit 3: Earth's Events (instructional resources) Suggested Timeline: 4-6 weeks Earth's Events Bundle Analysis	How does the land around us change?	How can changes to Earth occur both quickly and slowly? How can we provide evidence of the changes on Earth?	2.ESS1.1 Use information from several sources to provide evidence that Earth events can occur quickly or slowly.

Unit 4 Information	Driving Question	Essential Questions	Standards
Unit 4: Wind and Water (instructional resources) Suggested Timeline: 4-6 weeks Wind and Water Bundle Analysis	How can we stop the wind and/or water from changing the shape of the land?	How can a solution be used to slow or prevent wind or water from changing the land? Where on Earth can we find water?	2.ESS2.1 Compare multiple solutions designed to slow or prevent wind or water from changing the shape of the land. * 2.ESS2.3 Obtain information to identify where water is found on Earth and that it can be solid or liquid.

Unit 5 Information	Driving Question	Essential Questions	Standards
Unit 5: Diversity in Habitats (instructional resources) Suggested Timeline: 6-8 weeks Diversity in Habitats Bundle Analysis	How do plant and animal species found in different habitats compare?	How does a habitat affect what can live in it? How is a habitat an example of a system?	2.LS4.1 Make observations of plants and animals to compare the diversity of life in different habitats.

Unit 6 Information	Driving Question	Essential Questions	Standards
Unit 6: Ecosystems (instructional resources) Suggested Timeline: 4-6 weeks Ecosystems Bundle Analysis	Why can plants grow both inside and outside?	How do changes in the amount of water and light affect the growth of plants? How can a model be used to illustrate the way plants spread their seeds?	2.LS2.1 Plan and conduct an investigation to determine if plants need sunlight and water to grow. 2.LS2.2 Develop a simple model that mimics the function of an animal in dispersing seeds or pollinating plants.*
