TanglewoodEducation: 2nd grade Science

TanglewoodEducation.com "A Classical Education & A Charlotte Mason Approach"

Science Smart
Last year we recommended a book (Science Crafts for Kids) that subsequently went out of print. However, we have great news! The book as been reprinted in its entirety along with two other similar books (Geography Crafts for Kids, and Geology Crafts for kids) -all in this volume! Don't waste your money on any other craft books! You will not be able to find such beautiful, relevant, interesting, and educational crafts in any other book (except for it's companion book, Nature Smart)! I know because I've looked at them all! This is the best craft book around, and actually provides a well rounded science study too! Unlike many craft books that produce what I consider junk and clutter, this one has children making useful and beautiful crafts and projects.

*It looks like Amazon may be sold out of these.

You may still be able to order them elsewhere- our distributor
still has them in stock, so other stores may be able to get them.

In the second grade, we focus on the science craft portion of the book.
-Some topics that will be covered in this section are types of science, camouflage, molds & fungus, worms, toads, plants, spiders, sound waves, air, lightning and thunder, water, waves, acids & bases, gears, sun, light, and much, much more! (There are not only projects and crafts to go along with these studies, but interested pages covering the topics in depth!)
-A few of the projects and crafts in this section include periscope, wormery, tiles, embroidery, hypsometer (used to measure the height of a large tree or skyscraper), chimes, xylophone, nephoscope, barometer, hovercraft, wind speed meter,marbled paper, backyard mini-pond, model grist-mill, solar clock, solar oven, and many more!

I Wonder Why The Sun Rises and Other Questions about Time and Seasons
Another of the high-interest "I Wonder Why" series, each topic is presented through an interesting question followed by a simple but thorough explanation. One thing I especially like about this series are the excellent illustrations. Some are realistic, others are wacky cartoon figures, but all illustrate a point and the pages never seem to become cluttered.

Greg's Microscope
An "I Can Read" book that your 2nd grader may be able to read herself. Greg makes exciting discoveries about things he finds at home when he looks at them through his new microscope,
