Grade 2 Incursion

Grade 2 Incursion – Mad About Science

Grade 2 students took part in an exciting Mad About Science incursion that supported their current Unit of Inquiry: Properties of materials affect the way they can be used.

During the session, students actively explored the physical properties of both natural and processed materials. They sorted and classified a variety of materials, then tested their properties such as texture, strength, and flexibility.

Students also learned how some materials can change physically (like melting or freezing) and chemically (such as through mixing or heating). They experimented with different material combinations to observe changes and discover how heat affects certain substances.

It was a hands-on, engaging experience that sparked curiosity and deepened students' understanding of how materials behave in everyday life.
