If you were looking down at the Earth from space, what would you be able to see? Do you think you would be able to see your house? What if you were super far away?
Second Grade Next Generation Science Standards
Disciplinary Core Ideas:
ESS2.B: Plate Tectonics and Large-Scale System Interactions - Maps show where things are located. One can map the shapes and kinds of land and water in any area. (2-ESS2-2)
ESS2.C: The Roles of Water in Earth’s Surface Processes - Water is found in the ocean, rivers, lakes, and ponds. Water exists as solid ice and in liquid form. (2-ESS2-3)
Performance Expectations:
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 that it can be solid or liquid
