Standards

• GRADE 2
• Scientific Inquiry
• The skills of scientific inquiry, including a
  knowledge of the use of tools, will be assessed
  cumulatively on statewide tests. Students will
  therefore be responsible for the scientific
  inquiry indicators from all of their earlier
  grade levels. A table of the K12 scientific
  inquiry standards and indicators is provided in
  appendix A.

• Standard 2-1 The student will demonstrate an
  understanding of scientific inquiry, including
  the processes, skills, and mathematical thinking
  necessary to conduct a simple scientific
  investigation.
• Indicators
• 2-1.1 Carry out simple scientific investigations
  to answer questions about familiar objects and
  events.
• 2-1.2 Use tools (including thermometers, rain
  gauges, balances, and measuring cups) safely,
  accurately, and appropriately when gathering
  specific data in US customary (English) and
  metric units of measurement.
• 2-1.3 Represent and communicate simple data and
  explanations through drawings, tables,
  pictographs, bar graphs, and oral and written
  language.
• 2-1.4 Infer explanations regarding scientific
  observations and experiences.
• 2-1.5 Use appropriate safety procedures when
  conducting investigations.

• Students next will measure and record each
  others real heights.
