Second Grade Next Generation Science Standards

Disciplinary Core Ideas:
ETS1.A : Defining and Delimiting Engineering Problems – A situation that people want to change or create can be approached as a problem to be solved through engineering (K-2-ETS1-1).

Performance Expectations:
K-2-ETS1-1 Ask questions, make observations, and gather information about a situation people want to change to define a simple problem that can be solved through the development of a new or improved object or tool.
K-2-ETS1-2 Develop a simple sketch, drawing, or physical model to illustrate how the shape of an object helps it function as needed to solve a given problem.
