Grade 2 Science Observation Practice with Recording Tables

Name:                              
Date:              

Today I am practising: Comparing observations and noticing change.

1

Draw two cups of water. Put one in a sunny spot and one in shade. Write which will feel warmer later.

2

Look at two apples. Write one way they are the same and one way they are different.

3

Put a dry sponge in water. Draw it before and after, and write one word for the change.

4

Watch a plant leaf for two days. Copy this table: Day 1, Day 2, and write one change you see.

5

Sort these into two groups: rock, leaf, coin, stick. Write the rule you used for each group.

6

Draw a shadow in the morning and a shadow at noon. Write which shadow is longer.

Grown-up guide
  1. Show the child how to fill one row at a time, and ask them to say the observation aloud before writing.
