NEW 2022 Curriculum! Ontario Grade 2 Science Bundle - FULL YEAR BUNDLE

PRODUCT PREVIEW

NEW 2022 CURRICULUM! BOTH GOOGLE AND PDF VERSIONS INCLUDED!

New Ontario 2022 Science Curriculum. This FULL YEAR bundle covers all expectations in the Ontario Science Grade 2 curriculum.

Students will practice literacy skills when demonstrating their understanding of the subject material. These sheets were made for cross-curricular connections between language and science. Students will make connections, infer, support their answers with evidence from the text, and summarize. Each worksheet contains a reading followed by questions for them to demonstrate their learning. Students will enjoy the matching, true or false, and multiple choice questions.
