How to Use This Pack

Pages 1 to 4 are two research packets, each a page of four lettered sources and then a page of questions. Page 5 asks which kind of source would help most, page 6 matches research and topic words, and page 7 takes research notes on any topic.

In the Classroom

Time it: read a question aloud and have partners race to find the answer and the source letter. Then talk about how they knew where to look first.

At Home

When your child has a question about an animal, look it up together in two places, such as a book and a map or website, and compare what each one tells.

Tips for Success

  • Skim each source's heading and kind first
  • Charts are fast for numbers; maps for places
  • Interviews tell what a person has seen or thinks
  • Always write down which source a fact came from
