Grade 2 – Unit 4

Useful Mixtures

We use mixtures of liquids and solids every day. This unit connects directly to the Grade 2 Science curriculum while integrating writing, as students explore how mixtures are used in daily life.

Use Useful Mixtures alongside your science lessons to build vocabulary and expand sentences using the conjunction because. A useful mixture ready for your classroom: science and explicit writing instruction!
