Second Grade Unit Studies That Make Homeschool Fun

Second graders are at a wonderful age—they’re ready to explore deeper topics, ask big questions, and start connecting ideas across multiple subjects. Our homeschool unit study kits are specifically designed to encourage this enthusiasm by providing engaging hands-on projects that turn traditional lessons into meaningful, memorable experiences.

Instead of jumping between separate textbooks and worksheets, our homeschool curriculum kits blend learning across subjects in one exciting, theme-based kit. With engaging topics like oceans, rainforests, simple machines, and weather, your second grader gets to explore subjects deeply and joyfully.

Fully Planned and Ready to Go

At Knowledge Crates, we’ve designed our homeschool curriculum kits to eliminate that burden. Every box comes ready-to-use, fully planned with detailed guides, children’s books, and every material clearly labeled and included. Open the box, follow the guide, and dive straight into meaningful hands-on learning. No stress, no extra shopping, and no late-night prep—just learning and exploring with your second grader.

Engaging, Hands-On Activities

Second graders learn best by doing, exploring, and creating—so our homeschool unit studies focus on engaging, hands-on experiences instead of worksheets. Your child can enjoy playful science experiments like owl pellet dissection and weather explorations, express creativity through art projects and dioramas, and build essential skills with imaginative sensory play.

Multi-Age Homeschooling

If you’re homeschooling multiple kids, unit studies make it easy to teach them together. Younger kids can join in on craft and art projects, while older ones dive into more research and problem-solving. Everyone learns at their own level, but as a family, making homeschooling more connected and less stressful.

Fun, Screen-Free Activities for Kids

Keeping kids engaged without screens can be a challenge, but hands-on activities make it easy. Our learning kits encourage imaginative play, critical thinking, and creativity through interactive projects. Whether they’re exploring a new hobby, trying a science experiment, or making something special with their hands, kids stay engaged in a way that feels like play—not just another school assignment.

We were looking for a way to introduce our children to ASL without just sitting in front of a screen. This is a creative and hands on way to do just that. We are all looking forward to diving in. The box contents and packaging are all beautifully designed,

What a great list of books!

What a great list of books! My 10 year old (who this crate was ordered for) loves to read and this provided us with an extra list of fun books for him to read as he explores one of his favorite science topics. It will be great to tie in the language arts component even more thoroughly to his science through this list. And the fact that it was a bonus makes it all the better. I also appreciated the link to amazon so we could make some purchases off of amazon, making it far easier to find the titles we wanted.
