Matter in IB PYP Grade 2 Science

This page collects Matter resources for IB PYP Grade 2 Science. Learners at this developing stage work on exploring solids, liquids and everyday materials, describing properties of materials and investigating states of matter and changes.

PYP learning is inquiry-based: children explore ideas through questions, play and real-life examples, so worksheets and games here are designed to be short, clear and encouraging.

What learners practise

Exploring solids, liquids and everyday materials
Describing properties of materials
Investigating states of matter and changes

For students

Work through the worksheets and interactive activities at your own pace. Check your answers, then redo anything that felt tricky and explain each answer in your own words.

For parents

Sit with your child for the first few questions and ask “how do you know?”. Praise effort and keep sessions short.

For teachers

Use matter activities as a starter, homework or retrieval practice, and mix free and premium resources to differentiate.

Study tip

Sketch a quick diagram or flow chart for every process you study. Visual summaries are far easier to revise from than paragraphs.

Quick answers

Who is the Matter page for?

It is for IB PYP Grade 2 Science learners, typically aged 7–8, and for the parents and teachers who support them.

Are matter resources free?

Many are. Each resource shows a clear Free or price label, so you can start with the free ones and add premium resources when you need more practice.

How should I use these resources?

Pick one resource, complete it without help first, then check and correct. Repeating this little and often is more effective than one long session.
