DISTANCE LEARNING: SECOND & THIRD GRADE
NGSS Lesson | PE: 2-PS1-1
Students will understand that all five senses can be used to make observations and will practice using multiple senses in an observation activity. Students will learn that different objects have similar properties that can be used for classification.
NGSS Lesson | PE: 2-ESS1-1
Students will learn how Earth changes through erosion and weathering while describing what forces and actions cause such change to occur.
NGSS Lesson | PE: 3-LS2-1
Students will gather evidence that ants work together to ensure survival of the colony through investigation and observation of ant behavior. Students will record and explain their observations.
NGSS Lesson | PE: 3-LS4-3
Students will examine a variety of habitats and what makes these places different and unique. (Pt. 1 of 2)
NGSS Lesson | PE: 3-LS4-3
In this lesson we discuss several animals and the environments they live in. The student is asked to consider what the animal would need to survive in their habitats while learning what an adaptation is. (Pt. 2 of 2)
Students will explore how the sun warms the earth through visuals, videos and experimentation.

Students will understand the difference between magma and lava. Students will gain a basic understanding of what volcanoes are and the two ways that volcanoes erupt.
NGSS Lesson | PE: 2-ESS1-1

NGSS Lesson | PE: 2-LS4-1
NGSS Lesson | PE: 3-LS4-3
Using South Coast Botanic Garden’s Cactus Garden as a point of reference, students will gain an introductory understanding of the desert habitat and succulent adaptations. Students will construct an argument using evidence that some plants are adapted better for desert habitats than others.
Using the greenhouse at South Coast Botanic Garden in Palos Verdes as a point of reference, students will gain an introductory understanding of the difference between weather and climate and how these influence rain forests.
