Insect Investigation Research Unit


Happy Friday Everyone!

Like we've mentioned, we are starting to get the hang of this creating thing! Hopefully you were able to take a look at our FREE Science Notebook resource. We are continuing our trek forward and officially have our first paid product, and we are so proud!  We can't believe the growth we have even noticed between our first product and this one. 

At the end of each year, our students put on a huge play for the school and families.  To go along with the play, students do a non-fiction research project on the topic of the play to make it a culmination of our literacy standards. This year we are doing a play called "Bugz", and the students are doing their projects on the insect of their choice.  Check out the journal we made to help guide them through this process!

This resource is meant to be a guide to note-taking as students research their chosen insect. It can be used individually or in a group project setting. At the end of this product, you will see that there are accommodations for students that have alternative needs (ex: unable to write). They will be able to glue on the corresponding picture and color it. There is also a breakdown of vocabulary for students that need review or are English Language Learners. We included both colored, as well as black and white versions of every page. 











Insects not a topic you can use?  Be on the lookout for more research topics coming soon by following this blog!  Want to make sure we create a specific topic you need?  Shoot us a message and we are happy to make that happen for you!


Have a wonderful day!

Student Science Notebook

Welcome back!

We are starting to get the hang of this creating thing! Everyday is sure an adventure where we are learning more and more, but we must say...we are having a blast!  We now have our FREE product up on our Teachers Pay Teachers site, a student science notebook.

We hope this science notebook will be helpful to you and your students. Our notebook can organize information and help students understand each component to writing like a scientist. This is based on the "If...Then - Writing Like a Scientist" unit from the Lucy Calkins Units of Study for Writing (gr. 1), but is a great resource for anyone looking to write about any science experiment they are performing.

Our students have been using this product throughout our unit, and it has really solidified their knowledge of the process that a scientist takes when performing an experiment.
