Who doesn’t love learning about penguins? This penguins unit is perfect for students who are learning how to use informational text and studying various types of penguins. It is a great penguin activity for penguin reports and more. Students can conduct traditional book and/or internet research. This research unit makes learning fun and engaging. Everything you need for a successful unit is included!

Students will first learn how to use the text features in informational text including the table of contents and index. They will also learn how to find credible sources on the internet. Then, students will be assigned a type of penguin (and optionally, a partner or group to work with). Students will have a Penguins Research Journal that they will use as a guide as they research about the penguins in general as well as their assigned penguin. Editable sections have been added to the research journals so you may add your own questions!
Once students have completed their research, they will use it to complete two culminating activities: a LIFE-SIZE model of their penguin using butcher paper (great for practicing measurement as well), and a written penguin report. Finally, other classes and parents will be invited to the “Penguin Fair” where your students can show off their cool life size penguin model.

16 different penguins! Even I learned something new!
These units are designed to engage students and not just be printed work sheets. They are working, researching and getting their hands dirty at the same time! What I love most about the units, is the formats are all the same across themes. Your students become familiar with the structure and this makes the transitions so much easier.
I love this website!!
Thank you for all you do!

Excellent research focused unit. This unit has everything to help get the students started with their research and work through the project. Having these in Google Slides format is perfect so my students can research and create on their computer both in school and at home without losing their work.

I really liked this resource. It was perfect for distance learning. My students really enjoyed doing the research on the different types of penguins. I like the first two slides with the images of the different types of penguins.

My students know that I LOVE penguins. We started this project on Penguin Awareness Day and they loved it. It was a great way to pull in research, writing, and science together.

My second graders are researching their own penguin right now and have really enjoyed putting together slides where they can add their exciting facts.

I purchased this resource after viewing the preview and reading the description. While the ideas on the google slides were great for research I was disappointed in the quality of the slides and the inability to manipulate or change the slides. The slides were a screen shot so they were fuzzy and could not be changed, other than one word to type in the species of penguin. I was not able to use the slides and created my own.

LOVE the rubric, thank you….it is also a able to be adapted to a different animal when the students go on a more self -directed animal research project and parents already know exactly what I am looking for and the what their child is striving for. Awesome communication tool

One of the 2nd grade standards is research. We do a unit on penguin research each year and this was a perfect resource to add to it! No prep, easy to follow, and engaging for students! LOVE!
