National Geographic Kids
The National Geographic Kids website has been a great help to our 2nd grade students. They are researching an animal and writing a report for one of our non-fiction unit projects. In the search box at that site type in the name of your animal. Several links should pop up that you can go to. Look for the link about your animal that lists photos, video, facts, e-card, and map. When you click on that a screen should pop up with a picture of your animal and a Print tab at the top. Click this and you get a printable animal flash card that you can cut out and glue together or just use as part of a report. Many of the animals we chose had lots of other facts that printed with the picture. The KidsBiology website is another good source of friendly readable information about animals and other topics for kids.
