Animal Report Printable for a Fun & Engaging Study

Learning about animals, research and writing this week with our FREE Animal Report printable.

We are in the midst of studying endangered animals. Last week, I shared how we were learning about tigers.  This week, we are continuing our study by discussing what animals, in general, eat and how they survive in the wild.

Our #Animal Report #printable for K-6 elementary grades has room for lots of fun information that can be written in or drawn. Engaging for all skill and grade levels. Journaling helps children remember information more effectively. Give this a try today--it's totally free! #homeschool #science

We especially are interested in our backyard animals during winter. Here is the information we are learning about animals in winter.

Every winter we participate in the Backyard Bird Count. In addition, we watch the behavior of the deer, foxes, and squirrels in our immediate area. We pay attention to feeding habits, markings, even signs of disease. In the past, we’ve noticed eye issues in birds and big, bare spots on squirrels.  Winter is a good time to really watch animals and their behavior since we aren’t outside as much gardening, riding bikes, taking long hikes, or doing yard work.

Animal-Related Field Trips

Make the most of your planned or impromptu animal “field trips.” There are times when we are at the park and spend time following a lizard around a sunny area of the park or observe the tadpoles in a pond–these are great learning opportunities. We’ve often used these as springboards for a library visit to gather books about an animal or an art project.

Here are some field trip ideas both here in the U.S. and abroad:

  • The North Carolina Zoo in Asheboro, NC, has been recognized as the best zoon in the United States. Many of the animals live in large outdoor habitats.
  • In the U.K., go alpaca walking in Manchester. Collette, at Going On An Adventure, has a complete guide to alpaca experiences.
  • We love visiting turtle rescue centers. One of our favorites is the Karen Beasley Rescue Center in North Carolina and the Georgia Rescue Center on Jekyll Island, Georgia. You can read more about these places here.
  • The Alabama Gulf Coast Zoo is another of our favorites when we are in the Gulf Shores area.

Once you and your student read the information below, select an animal or two to research. Organize information into a report form using the animal report printable we have created.

The animal report printable below is a great tool for younger learners. They can use it to know what kind of questions they should be answering in an animal report. It will help them dig deeper in their research. Depending on the age, you can have the child answer in complete sentences or just a few lines. Older students can use this form as a start to a larger report or use many of these to record basic information about a larger number of animals.

Let us know where to send the printable by entering your email below. We will add you to our email list, but promise not to spam you! Then check out our list of animal resources below.

I hold a master’s degree in child development and early education and am working on a post-baccalaureate in biology. I spent 15 years working for a biotechnology company developing IT systems in DNA testing laboratories across the US. I taught K4 in a private school, homeschooled my children, and have taught on the mission field in southern Asia. For 4 years, I served on our state’s FIRST Lego League tournament Board and served as the Judging Director.  I own thehomeschoolscientist and also write a regular science column for Homeschooling Today Magazine. You’ll also find my writings on the CTCMath blog. Through this site, I have authored over 50 math and science resources.
