WeDo 2.0 in Curriculum NGSS performance expectations: Grade 2 Life science 2-LS2-1. Plan and conduct an investigation to determine if plants need sunlight and water to grow. 2-LS2-2. Develop a simple model that mimics the function of an animal in dispersing seeds or pollinating plants. 2-LS4-1. Make observations of plants and animals to compare the diversity of life in different habitats. Engineering K-2-ETS1-1. Ask questions, make observations, and gather information about a situation people want to change in order 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 problem. K-2-ETS1-3. Analyze data from tests of two objects designed to solve the same problem to compare the strengths and weaknesses of how each performs. Physical science 2-PS1-1. Plan and conduct an investigation to describe and classify different kinds of materials by their observable properties. 2-PS1-2. Analyze data obtained from testing different materials to determine which materials have the properties that are best suited for an intended purpose. 2-PS1-3.
Make observations to construct an evidence-based account of how an object made of a small set of pieces can be disassembled and made into a wholly new object. 2-PS1-4. Construct an argument with evidence that some changes caused by heating or cooling can be reversed and some cannot. Earth and space science 2-ESS1-1. Use information from several sources to provide evidence that earth events can occur quickly or slowly. 2-ESS2-1. Compare multiple solutions designed to slow or prevent wind or water from changing the physical shape of the land. 2-ESS2-2. Develop a model to represent the shapes and kinds of land and bodies of water in an area. 2-ESS2-3.
Obtain information to identify where water is found on earth and understand that it can be solid or liquid. ©2016 The LEGO Group. 24
