Demonstrate that sound is made by vibrating matter; vibrations can be caused in different ways.
Teachers can use 2.8A to sequence instruction on Sound & vibration and monitor progress toward mastery.
Standard 2.8A in Science helps students understand Sound & vibration and apply knowledge with confidence.
Start with concrete or familiar examples, connect to prior knowledge, model a clear process, and provide checks for understanding aligned to 2.8A.
Standard 2.8A describes the essential skills and understandings for Sound & vibration 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 Sound & vibration, so students can tackle more complex problems later.
Use short exit tickets and tasks where students explain decisions, show multiple representations, or justify answers—directly aligned to 2.8A.
