Grade 2
Second graders will do two modules of Project Lead The Way: Grids and Games and Materials Science: Properties of Matter.
If you would like to see your child's work from Project Lead The Way, please email me at [email protected], and I will send you an invitation to connect with Seesaw. Click here for more information about Seesaw and what it is.
Grids and Games
In Grids and Games, a computer science module, students use math when they create a new game. First, they play an unplugged game called Rosie's Runtime, where they learn that computers can only do what they are programmed to do. Then they learn the basics of Scratch Jr., an iPad application for doing block-based coding.
Materials Science: Properties of Matter
In our second Project Lead The Way module, Materials Science: Properties of Matter, students learn about young inventors and the properties of matter of color, texture, and heat conduction. They also learn about the states of matter - solid, liquid and gas, and about how some changes can be reversed and some cannot. Finally, students work collaboratively to design and build an invention to help keep an ice pop cold in hot weather.
