Teachers and parents: scroll down to check out the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) for this episode!

Squeaks is back from visiting Sam the Bat’s cave and is excited to learn all about how different caves form and why they look the ways they do!

Hosted by: Anthony Brown

Second Grade Next Generation Science Standards

Disciplinary Core Ideas:

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).

ESS2.A: Earth Materials and Systems - Wind and water can change the shape of the land (2-ESS2-1).

PS1.A: Structure and Properties of Matter - Different kinds of matter exist and many of them can be either solid or liquid, depending on temperature. Matter can be described and classified by its observable properties. (2-PS1-1).


Performance Expectations:

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 shape of the land.

2-PS1-1. Plan and conduct an investigation to describe and classify different kinds of materials by their observable properties.
