Who Would Win? Independent Animal Research Project- Digital or Non-Digital!

Now includes an editable Googles Slides option for students along with a printable option that can be sent to students digitally! Perfect for distance learning!

My students LOVE books from Scholastic’s Who Would Win? series and I wanted an extension project that allowed them to research their own animals to create their own Who Would Win? book. The book is a total of 10 pages that include the following:

• Page 1- Title page showing the two animals and a picture of each
• Page 2- Scientific name of the animals, picture, category of animal, special feature, and fact
• Page 3- Map of the world where the animals are found and include a fact related to this
• Page 4- The anatomy of each animal with labels and a fact related to this
• Page 5- What the animals eat; are they a carnivore, herbivore, or omnivore?
• Page 6- Your Choice #1- one part of the animals to focus on and compare
• Page 7- Your Choice #2- another part of the animals to focus on and compare
• Page 8- Your Choice #3- a final part of the animals to focus on and compare
• Page 9- The Animals Finally Meet- students use the graphic organizer to write what would happen if the animals meet
• Page 10- The Winner is… 

Also included is a student example that one of my 4th grade students completed that you can use as a model for your students.

Included are QR codes students can scan to get to websites that have information about animals, but you may want to pull books from your library or even check out the Epic app which is free for teachers and allows you to create free student accounts as well. There are a ton of books available for students to read on this. Your library may also have online databases, such as Pebble Go, that students could use for their research. Good luck!
