How to Write Simple Science Reports

Here, in one 128-page volume, is everything you need to cultivate children's natural curiosity in wild animals and dinosaurs and turn it into 30 possible animal-topic reports..
.
Teaching materials cover prewriting, modeling, preparing materials, bibliography, discussion starters, and writing ideas. For the student, there is a page of science information, patterns for cover and inside report illustration for each animal topic..
.
Topics are divided into three sections:.
.
Wild Animals - bat, gorilla, koala, frog, crocodile, killer whale, lion, squirrel, tortoise, crow.
Animal Homes - ant hill, beaver lodge, elf owl nest, squirrel nest, molehill, bird nest, prairie dog town, polar bear den, rabbit warren, trap-door spider tunnel.
Prehistoric Animals - triceratops, woolly mammoth, archaeopteryx, compsognathus, eohippus, protoceratops, saber-toothed tiger, stegosaurus, tyrannosaurus, pteranodon.
.
Step-by-step instructions will help you guide each student in the creation of a report he or she can be proud of, share with classmates and use as a reference. There is a "fine-art" drawing of each animal or home that will make a classy cover, a second page with the animal's skeleton or cut-away view of the home, and a "cut-to-the-shape" report written by the child.

Text and illustrations are reproducible.
