Grade 2 Science with Special Education Support, Semester 1

This self-paced , online course introduces second-grade students to foundational concepts in life science, earth science, and physical science. Students will explore topics such as plants and animals, weather and seasons, matter and its properties, and simple forces and motion through interactive lessons and hands-on activities. The course encourages curiosity, observation, and basic scientific inquiry skills, helping students ask questions and make predictions about the world around them. Designed for flexible learning, the course supports students as they develop a strong foundation in science at their own pace. Parents are supported through a dedicated online platform offering expert guidance and practical resources. Parents will gain insight into their child’s unique learning needs, including diagnoses such as autism, dyslexia, intellectual disability, or Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), and learn strategies tailored to their child’s preferred learning style—visual, auditory, or kinesthetic. The platform provides at-home activities to strengthen fine and gross motor skills, essential for science exploration, recording observations, and other academic tasks. Additionally, parents receive respectful, adaptive strategies to support their child’s scientific curiosity and academic growth. Accessible educational tools, including Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC), help personalize instruction to each child’s abilities. Families have access to downloadable resources, a supportive community, and ongoing professional guidance to ensure a successful learning experience. This course includes 6 months of access to all materials and resources.
