About 2nd grade science physics resources
On TPT (Teachers Pay Teachers), 2nd Grade Science Physics Resources support young learners as they explore physical science through simple, meaningful experiences. In second grade, that often means learning about properties of matter, pushes and pulls, and motion in ways that feel concrete and age appropriate. These resources help students notice how objects move, change, and interact with the world around them. They are a strong fit for classrooms that want science practice to feel active, visual, and easy to understand.
Teachers can find lesson plans, task cards, anchor charts, science notebooks, sorting activities, and exit tickets that focus on force, motion, and matter. Many sets also include hands-on experiments, prediction sheets, and quick assessments, which makes it easier to teach, check understanding, and review. Digital slides and interactive activities are especially helpful for whole-group modeling or center work. The mix of print and digital formats gives teachers flexibility without adding extra planning time.
In the classroom, a teacher might introduce a push-and-pull lesson with a short read-aloud, then send students to stations with task cards and sorting mats. After that, students can record observations in a science notebook or complete a quick exit ticket before moving on. These ready-made resources make it easier to keep the lesson moving while still giving students time to explore. When the day is busy, having a complete set on hand saves prep time and keeps second grade physics instruction focused and manageable.
TPT is the largest marketplace for PreK-12 resources, powered by a community of educators.
