Primarily Research

Children are curious. And animals are fascinating. This exciting text builds on students' natural curiosity about animals to provide opportunities for structured research. Primarily Research eases primary students into the role of researchers by providing them with motivating topics and stimulating questions.

Each of the 8 units presents a different animal or pair of animals including moths, butterflies, lions, tigers, koalas, kangaroos, elephants, frogs, toads, sharks, gorillas, giraffes, and penguins. The research activities in each unit take students beyond simply finding information. Students must also apply information, analyze facts, make comparisons, and draw conclusions. In addition to fact-finding activities, there are questions requiring critical thinking, deductive reasoning, and creative thinking.

This book is very complimentary with Primarily Reference Skills to give your students the entire library and research experience.
