Second Grade Next Generation Science Standards
Disciplinary Core Ideas:
LS4.D: Biodiversity and Humans - There are many different kinds of living things in any area, and they exist in different places on land and in water (2-LS4-1).
ESS1.C: The History of Planet Earth - Some events happen very quickly; others occur very slowly, over a time period much longer than one can observe (2-ESS1-1).

Performance Expectation:
2-LS4-1. Make observations of plants and animals to compare the diversity of life in different habitats.
2-ESS1-1 Use information from several sources to provide evidence that Earth events can occur quickly or slowly.
