Observing Properties - Lesson for Grade 2, Chapter - Matter
In the "Observing Properties" lesson, designed for Grade 2 students within the Matter unit of their Science curriculum, young learners embark on an exploratory journey to understand the world around them through observation and classification. This lesson is pivotal because it introduces students to the foundational concept that everything in our world has specific properties that can be observed and measured.
Through engaging activities such as "Observing Properties of Objects," students will learn to pay close attention to the details of various objects, understanding that physical properties can include size, shape, color, and texture. The "Physical Properties Of Matter Worksheet" further reinforces this knowledge by providing hands-on experience in identifying and recording these characteristics, highlighting the diverse nature of matter.
The "Classifying Animals Worksheet" introduces a biological twist to the concept of properties by guiding students to classify animals based on observable characteristics. This not only enriches their understanding of biodiversity but also hones their comparison and categorization skills.
Finally, the "Observing Properties Worksheet" consolidates their learning, emphasizing the importance of observation in science.

Activity 3 / Observing Properties Worksheet
If your child is interested in the sciences, they might be keener to complete this worksheet. For scientists to come to conclusions, they usually observe objects for a long time in order to learn more about them. There are five objects on the left side of this colourful worksheet. Ask your child if they can identify each of the objects. Then, help them check off the describing word among the options on the right which best matches the object. Remember to let them know that there can be more than one answer.
