What do children learn about matter in 2nd grade?

In 2nd grade (ages 7–8) children sort materials by properties such as hard or soft, bendy or stiff, and whether they let water through. They learn that solids keep their shape, liquids take the shape of their container, and heating or cooling can melt, freeze or change some materials.

How can RepeatWatch help with a science lesson?

Loop the part of a video that shows ice melting or water freezing with an A–B loop, so your child can watch the change again while you try it at home. Slow it to 0.75x, save key moments on keys 1–9, and stop after a few loops.

Frequently asked questions

What should my child be able to do after this unit?

Most children can name solids, liquids and gases around the house, describe materials by their properties, and explain that heating or cooling can cause changes, some of which can be reversed. Grade levels vary by country and school.

Are the Crash Course Kids videos too advanced?

Crash Course Kids is written for upper elementary, so it goes a little further. Watch in short parts at 0.75x and pause to talk about examples. The Generation Genius songs at the end are made for kindergarten to 2nd grade.
