Abeka Science Grade 2

In Enjoying God’s World, students review a few first-grade topics about human biology, plants, and animals, while learning more about body systems and plants. Additional topics include animals and their habitats, energy, force and movement and the states of matter, water cycle, weather, and earth and space. A sampling of activities includes mapping your teeth, observing water move a stem, measuring solids and liquids, and more. There are no grades assigned at this level, the focus is on instilling a love for these subjects by introducing topics of interest and emphasizing God’s love and care for His creation. This level offers the consumable, softcover student textbook, the teacher’s edition with answers, and a combined homeschool curriculum lesson plans for history, science and health. Lesson plans include expanded daily lessons for history, science and health, along with a schedule for art and music (sold separately). Divided into 39 lessons, with a 3 day per week schedule. Lessons will take approximately 25 minutes. Thursday and Friday are dedicated art or music days.
