Identify forms of energy and properties of matter.
In Science, 2.5E defines what success looks like for Energy & matter—from core skills to real‑world use.
Teachers can use 2.5E to sequence instruction on Energy & matter and monitor progress toward mastery.
Students may rely on procedures without reasoning or mix key terms. Build in quick oral explanations, error analysis, and vocabulary supports tied to 2.5E.
Start with concrete or familiar examples, connect to prior knowledge, model a clear process, and provide checks for understanding aligned to 2.5E.
Standard 2.5E describes the essential skills and understandings for Energy & matter in Grade 2. It clarifies the learning outcomes and what successful work looks like.
It lays groundwork for the next grade by deepening accuracy and flexibility with Energy & matter, so students can tackle more complex problems later.
