Squeaks and Mister Brown are making popcorn for all of their friends, and learning all about how heat makes popcorn kernels pop!

Hosted by: Anthony Brown

Second Grade Next Generation Science Standards

Disciplinary Core Ideas:

PS1.A: Structure and Properties of Matter - Different kinds of matter exist and many of them can be either solid or liquid, depending on temperature. Matter can be described and classified by its observable properties. (2-PS1-1).

PS1.B: Chemical Reactions - Heating or cooling a substance may cause changes that can be observed. Sometimes these changes are reversible, and sometimes they are not (2-PS1-4).

Performance Expectations:

2-PS1-1. Plan and conduct an investigation to describe and classify different kinds of materials by their observable properties.

2-PS1-4. Construct an argument with evidence that some changes caused by heating or cooling can be reversed and some cannot.
