How to Use Discoveries in Motion 2nd Grade Curriculum
What's Included:
- Discoveries in Motion Book 1, Book 2, and Book 3
- Discovery Journal
- Tangram Set
- Motion Poster
- Bookmark
- Backpack
Start With the Daily Lesson
Each day begins with a discovery question that anchors your lesson and builds curiosity.
Read the teaching pages together, then complete the activities that follow. These activities help your child observe, investigate, and apply what they are learning through experiments and guided practice.
Students may still need support, but this curriculum is designed to gradually increase independence through writing, experiments, and journal work.
How it All Works Together
The pieces in this curriculum work together to create a connected year of learning.
- The curriculum guides your daily lessons and gives your child opportunities to practice and apply what they learn.
- The Discovery Journal helps your child begin to record experiments using the scientific method, practice vocabulary, and review key concepts.
- The tangram set strengthens problem-solving and logical thinking as your child works with patterns and structure tied to a concept from the curriculum each week.
- The motion poster tracks progress by reinforcing the vocabulary word of the week.
Each part works alongside the others so learning feels connected, not scattered.
Keep It Simple
Lessons are designed to take about 30 to 60 minutes per day.
This curriculum helps your child explore how the world works through motion, early physics systems, and real-world problem solving.
Follow Your Child's Pace
Some days will move quickly. Others may take more time. That is normal.
The plan is already mapped out for you, so you can focus on helping your child learn.
Extend Learning Naturally
Field trips and real-life experiences help bring learning to life.
Six field trips are built into the curriculum, each one designed to connect with what your child is learning about motion, early physics, and how things work.
