Year 2 Science is all about building curiosity and understanding the world around your child. Our program introduces basic scientific ideas through observation, simple experiments, and real-life examples in a structured and engaging way.

Key Topics Covered:

Living and non-living things, basic life cycles, weather and seasons, materials and their properties, simple forces, and observation skills.

Parent Tip:

Encourage your child to ask 'why' and 'how' questions during daily activities — curiosity is the foundation of science learning.
