Second Grade Science Pacing Guide

Teachers,

This pacing guide is correlated with Florida Next Generation Sunshine State Standards for Second Grade Science. It is meant to be a guide for the 2011– 2012 school year and provides resources for each benchmark. The ancillary materials from the new Harcourt Science series are correlated to the Monroe County School District Scope and Sequence in this guide. You will also find a variety of activities to complement your instruction. Please make note of additional activities you may use with any benchmarks as these can be added to the pacing guide for all to use next year.

All lessons and units may also be assessed using the Assessment Guide. There is an interactive glossary in the student edition and in the Resource section of the teacher edition which you will want to use. All Science teachers must stress vocabulary. The Resource section of the Teacher Edition also has a trade book bibliography, teacher background knowledge and other important information. Please note that abbreviations are made for the following resources: **Teacher Edition = TE **Student Workbook = SW Sciencesaurus = SS *Digital Lesson = DL (interactive) same topics but not same lesson as text *Virtual Lab = VL Flipchart = FC **Vocabulary Cards = VC Daily Inquiry (old Insta Labs) = DI **Assessment Guide = AG **Leveled Readers = LR Available Only Online is denoted by * *Access Points = AP Available Online and in print denoted by **
