About these 2nd grade science worksheets
These 2nd grade science worksheets follow the NGSS second grade standards: sorting matter into solids, liquids and gases, deciding which heating and cooling changes can be undone, planning a fair test of what plants need, matching animals to habitats and naming landforms and bodies of water.
Each sheet prints its NGSS code. The plant sheet is a real investigation plan, so it works best alongside two or three cups of seeds on a windowsill.

How to get the most out of them
- 1
Melt and refreeze an ice cube, then toast a piece of bread, before "Can It Change Back?".
- 2
Set up the four plant cups from "What Do Plants Need?" and check them every few days.
- 3
Look for landforms in picture books or on a map after the landforms sheet.
2nd Grade Science Worksheets — questions parents ask
- Are these aligned to NGSS?
- Yes, to the second grade performance expectations 2-PS1-1, 2-PS1-4, 2-LS2-1, 2-LS4-1 and 2-ESS2-2.
- What is a reversible change?
- A change that can be undone, such as ice melting and freezing again. Cooking an egg cannot be undone, so it is irreversible.
